Paid $300.00 for my tegu, only thing live he'll get are pinkies, fuzzies or frogs. Ain't worth the vet bill when it gets bitten.

yeah i paid 300 for my tegu also and would hate to see him get bit, he wont eat frozen thawed and he needs rodents in his diet. i usually stun the rats 1st before i feed them. im not to worried bout him getting bit thou, he usually kills them pretty quickly. thanks for the concern thou guys.

Oh sorry.

But out of curosity who sold 300 dollar normal ( i think) tegu. Did you get him when he was already large.

 

[kpelzer]

yeah i know i paid a lot. i bought him from a guy in Texas last auguest as a baby and had him shipped to Michigan. i didnt really know any better at the time that it was a little pricey. if i where to get one now id def go through bobby, i plan on getting 2 extremes when im done with school in a few years.

Wow $300 for a normal baby. I paid $175 for a five month old but he was worked with a lot and was already pretty tame. however, I dont feed rats. I use orange spotted cockroaches. Much less expensive. They breed like crazy too and they won't bite your tegu.

 

[kpelzer]

yeah thats true, my tegu is 4ft thou and it would prolly take a ton of roaches to fill him up.lol. do you breed your own roaches?

 

[cornking4]

Yeah... They're really easy to breed. No odor or noise. I keep a colony in my closet. I would try feeding a few just to supplement the diet... It's pretty much free to maintain a colony and they'll vary up the diet a little. lol.

I use blaptica dubias... They're the easiest to breed. Go to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.blapticadubia.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.blapticadubia.com</a><!-- w --> to check out the specs.
