New male tegu (and introduction to female)

[Renske]

Hello!
Today we bought a new argentine black and white male tegu! We are so happy! He is realy beautiful!
Tomorrow morning we are going to intrduce him to my female. We put a plastic wall with holes in it. So they can not injure each other, but they can smell each other.
And if that is going right I will remove te wall.
Tips are realy welcome!

He is 130cm = 51.2inch and the female 90cm = 35.4inch. Both are 2,5 or 3 years old.

Thanks guys!

The male tegu is 3 years and 130cm = 51.2inch long and the female 3 years old and 90cm = 35.4inch long.
Is that a good sizes?
I tought my female was big. But now with the male, she looks so small...

The male is very smart... He found a way to get to the other side with te female. So I desided to let them be together...

Now he bites her in her neck and tail al the time. Bet realy soft. And he makes a puffing sound. Very slow... The female digs a hole to hide vrom him...

Movie of the tegus!

The partition you have in there isn't adequate to keep him from getting to her. It's about as high as he is long from snout to vent. Even if it was a little higher they can jump and or tripod then pull themselves over easily.

Yup he did get over it. But its okay now. They are friendly to each other. The male even tried to mat with her.
He makes sounds like "Pfffff... Pffffff..." and bites in her neck. :heart:
