Oh my lanta! Was watching videos on Youtube and found a video of these two Gu's slurping up some raw eggs and one bit half of the other forked tongue part off!! Why do you think she did that? Does that happen often?

Although Tegus are very tolerant of one another, quabbles will always exist. Humans are generally social peaceful animals, but we're not exactly known for our "world peace".
