Hey guys,
I'm new to this site but i'm a new tegu owner. It's an argentine, and it's about 4 months and only 13 inches long. Can anyone tell me why?

Some grow fast some slow. Maybe not the answer you are looking for. How often do you feed, daily hopefully. Temps optimum? 120 basking 80ish over a gradient? Humidity good? Need a little more info to give an informed opinion. Has your gu possibly started hibernation?

My gu was about that size at that age, though she had a bit of a setback :) She's grown a lot between 4 and 6 months though!

Mine is small in my opinion. Its a girl. At nearly a year old she was 25 inches. She is more than a year and half now, but only 38 inches I think. I'm pretty bummed. I wanted a big booger.

Mine guy is 2 years old and is 42 inches long. He went on a huge growth spurt in the summer, was shedding once a month.

Mine at three months old was only 10.5 inches long. He's now only 23 inches at 10 months old, but has been growing like a weed in the past few months
