they are friendly towards people there personalities are pretty similair, they can be a little excited and food agressive in the cage so i am carefull when i first pick them up, sometimes they just assume you have food. but after picked up they mellow our nicely. in my opinion the larger one has nicer color. if you want individual pictures just let me know, if you want to see the larger, or the smaller one.

yeah, looking back i wish i would have done it that way, it can be kind of hard to break a tegu of habits like that. still good lizards though.

the larger one with the lighter color head and the darker nose is going on 2.5 to 3 years old i believe. i bought her when she was under a year old ad that was about two years ago now. and im unsure of the breeder actually.

ive been considering it, but he is my favorite, hes very docile, and inteligent, but money talks, and considering my current situation (unemployement... bills to pay..etc) it might be a good idea. .

yes, she has actually had pretty long periods of hibernation every year. i know some people only do about three months, but mine have had more like 5 or 6 per year, with a couple of weeks intermission, because the weather here in reno stays below 60 for about half the year, and the rest of the year its pretty hot.

Humm, that is interesting.
I have had in my life 100s of snakes, monitors, frogs and Herps of all kinds....
I have never had an aggressive animal based on feeding it in it cages. I do not own leather gloves, gentle giants, or snake hooks of any kind what so ever. My wife also handles just as much as I do and she is 5'1 and 112 pounds Lmao. But, then again she has just as much handling experience as I do, so together we make a good team.
In fact, I look at it like this....
You really don't want to do this. Trust me. The premise behind this is that feeding them in a container keeps them from thinking when you go in the cage it's feeding time. So allow me to lay this out for you.....would you rather have the reptile thinking everytime it gets taken out it's getting fed? Or would you rather have it thinking when it's in it's cage it's feeding time? Personally I'd rather have the big reptile thinking it's feeding time in it's cage where it is more of a controlled environment instead of having it in feed mode everytime it's outside the cage.
But, this is just my opinion.
Hey man hit me up <!-- e --><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><!-- e --> we can talked over what you have.
Just watch the first minute of this vid.

This guy lays it straight, he stopped bin feeding and this was the result. (this was also posted like, three days ago)
I would rather not have a large lizard doing that every time I walk by, or reach in the cage. But that's just my opinion.
My girl already only perks up in her bin, and its only been 5 days.
I wish I had the space for more GUs! Good luck with these ladies though, they are beautiful. Its great that they are good with other Tegus as well. Makes me wish I had a yard, so I could do an outside enclosure.

yeah but once it gets in your lizards head that your coming to the tank, it is going to think here comes food. I would rather not take that risk. It is 10x easier to handle your gu by feeding it in a bin. This way your gu does not automatically associate a human or you coming to the tank as here comes food. If i take my gu to the feeding bin he knows its lunch time. If i take him to the other room he just runs around.
I know people have different opinions on this, and others will chime in. But i completely disagree with you on this. Just go on youtube and you will see these sorta things. cage aggression is a hard thing to over come.

I understand where you are coming from and I agree that every one is entitled to their opinion. I have just never seen this to be true.
But, maybe others have. I'm not sure why.
We handle our animals a lot and they are handled by people of all ages and experience levels.
Maybe I just have a room of dozens of expeditions. Lol.

yeah, i dont know why but tegus seem to get a little more food aggresive then other herps. my adult cuban rocks which have always been cage fed will run up to te door when it is opened and wait for food, but they dont leap at you like an excited tegu will.
Yea my local reptile store used to have a black and white tegu they rescued and it only eats mice. Its so cage aggresive it runs at the glass when you wear white socks and go by. It also has run at the glass with such force the glass broke. The moral from this. Feed them in a different place then its own cage
