One of the perks of being a cold-blooded means a tegu, or any other reptile, only needs about 10% of the food a warm-blooded animal the same size needs and that food can sustain them for a while. Kodo once went a week and a half without eating when I was on vacation in Florida and he was totally fine. Also, Kodo typically doesn't eat if someone other than me feeds him. Do you have a friend or family member who can come over and feed your animals while you are gone?
