Giant tegu

[mr.tegu]

some tegus grow so fast that your hatchlings gone over night. mine has grown 19 inches in under 4 months and still growing. In mid October 08 i had a 10 inch tiny yard sized lizard. Now its already 29 inches long and 4 inches wide, and eats ALL day long basically from around 7 am to 4 pm before going back to its burrow for the night.

how are the extreme giants produced? I have a regular arg. black and white and was wondering where these giants come from...

 

[VARNYARD]

They are a different local from the normals, they are thought to come from Bolivia, or the Grand Chaco region.

Most of the normals found in the market come from central Argentina.

Also this is a good thread to add this video:

That's an impressive lizard, sir. There's a shop near my work that keeps a couple of big ones roaming around the store. They were always what I always wanted my baby to grow up to be. Now I have seen a new standard.

Yeah, I really hope my male gets near the 5' mark.

 

[VARNYARD]

Thank you sir, I do like the giants bunches too.

You bet, as long as it adds up to the same in US dollars, lol.

BTW, here are some more pics of the adults, they are dirty and have not shed out yet since hibernation:

Looking nice. Your larger male is around 62'', right? Do you have lengths of the other giants?(other adult male and females)

One of my males has a regenarated tail, and females are around 4ft, females tend to be smaller in all types of tegus then the males. Here is a picture of the two males together you can see the tail:

is that a fish the one male is eating?

 

[VARNYARD]

Yes it is I caught a bunch of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) in my cast net the other night> they are a type of herring. They are almost like a freshwater shad. The tegus like them pretty good, and they can be fed as a whole food source, no sharp fins or big sharp bones.
