thank you Laura. Your tegu is excellent. He is young isn't he? I can see him very good muscular looks like gogon when he was younger. I will try to monitor him very2 closely and measure his weight regularly. Yes he was overweight before and my friend a Rusian judge told me about it also,...after that I reduce his meal portion...do you think 5,7 kg for him is too weight? He is 98 cm length ( before loosing tail he was 116 cm in length) thank you again

thank you....yes Gogon usually shows the lip biting when he is sleeping. But in the past months, it is still there when he is walking, but not as bad as when sleeping.....It's always at the right side, never at the left side.

I don't think he is very overweight now, but he used to about 1 year before. I am thinking in case it is the remainding of the condition add by the ages and the pressure of the jaw ligaments long terms

thank you, I love your tegus they are awesome! Do you think gogon weight 5,7 kg is too heavy for an old male? I am not sure if in reptiles there is chart of avarage ideal weight like dogs and cats but I am wondering how much is the ideal weight so I can move forward with adjusment...thanks again

In Indonesia we like to have the reptile contest together with the exhibition. Gogon joined the 2008,2009,2010, and 2011 contest and one of them is judged by the well knowed reptile breeder Bob Clark...

Laura, when I see Gogon walking, his belly is very empty, the only one looks big to me is only his jowls. Even if we compare from the photo, your red tegu has the bigger base of tail from him. The jowls is very2 big from the beginning, even before he is a very little tegu..that's why I am wondering in case if I can reduce again his meal frequency. Do you think we can give the meal only once per week? I read at the medical book of reptile, they say the old omnivorous lizard like tegus and tiliqua, we can give only once perweek meal,...but is it enough? Because they don't drink much, and usually I give the fruits to ensure the hydration...thank you sorry too many questions hehehhe
