Hey don't start on the teenager issue, I don't want to side with this guy, he does have some issues with his care, but I am 15 and I take excellent care of my animals and the tegu I have right now was rescued from another person who couldn't care for her so please do not call all teenagers immature. I think this kid needs to grow up and take proper care of his animals or wait to have animals until he can properly care for them. Also, almost everyone on this site has the spelling and grammar of a 3rd grader, so you can't really judge him for that. Some advice would be to build your tegu a 7 by 3 by 3 foot wooden cage instead of a shed, put in some proper UVB, because the UVB you have is not properly positioned, and put multiple heaters in there because they need serious heat. Also, add some variety to his/her diet and add some bananas, strawberries and other fruits. You can feed it calves liver, calves heart, mice, large hissing roaches, some ground turkey, and eggs can also be good but not everyday or anything. I am sure you can find everything but the mice and hissing roaches at a grocery store, and the roaches and mice can be bought online in bulk or maybe at a local store. I hope you get a really good setup going and you listen to the advice I just gave you.
