Hello! I'm pretty new to tegu care, and I bought from a prior tegu owner, who... Gave me very vague descriptions of the actual animal. I feel like they purchased him not knowing how big he was going to get, and wanted to get rid of him once they found out. I wasn't given a specific age (just that he was hatched "around last august" and that he was brumated sometime before I purchased him).
But thankfully! He seems happy and healthy and energetic, with no health issues or shedding complications to speak of, aside from a tiny bit missing off the tip of his tail.
The only thing is, I'm not entirely sure what breed he is. The previous owner claimed he was a red, but I've had him for a while now, and hes shed his skin many times, but still doesnt appear to be taking on any sort of red colour.
I'm having a hard time finding any information on what age they tend to gain their colour, or if it's different depending on individual.
That being said, any extra tips or advice would be much appreciated.
ps: his name is big boss
