Raw/uncooked chicken bones do not splinter and are not brittle like cooked bones. Raw bones are soft and easily broken down, believe it or not.

My dogs, cats and ferrets are fed raw, natural diets with raw bones and anyone who feeds raw can tell you that raw/uncooked bones are SIGNIFICANTLY safer than cooked.

There are always these scares about chicken bones and chicken meat being dangerous to consume. I'd be more concerned if you were feeding you tegu chunks of WEIGHT bearing bones such as from cattle femurs, ox tails, pork leg bones, etc.

I personally think a large tegu could handle some soft chicken bones. My ferrets who're much smaller than an adult tegu can take down chicken AND turkey necks with ease.
