My new Colombian Gold and Black Tegu : GAMBIT

[VaranusDragon74]

Here is Gambit, my new Colombian Gold and Black Tegu. Roughly 3', I'm guessing yearling to 1 1/2 years old. He is super calm, for a Colombian, and even allowed me to put a leash on him, an hour after purchasing him..
Thanks, to Rian & the boyz at Underground Reptiles, for another great tegu..

Sorry, He was being fussy, at the time..
Here he is, tamed and calm..

Very nice. He'll do better in the longer if you can get out of an aquarium and into a 6x3 ft cage (minimum).

Much better looks female. Have you seen any sperm plugs in it's poop or hemipenes when it poops?

 

[VaranusDragon74]

Is this a hemipene, because I saw this and thought male?

I know, will be building at least 2 large enclosures, for him and my female Chacoan Giant..
Any plans or ideas would be helpful, since this will be my first build?

Once again not the best pic to judge but that looks more like a prolapse then hemipenes to me.

Interesting. If a male is pushing out his hemipenes during a bowel movement, they will sort of pop out and then go back in. There are two, one on each side of the vent rather than on in the middle. Is this going back in?
