What is the beginner tegu for me?

How big would a female argentine Black and white be? Average snout to vent

Mine female b&w is just over 40 inches snout to vent and 8-10 pounds (haven't weighed in a while). Some say average three feet other say they max out at four. It honestly depends on hibernation, heat, and how much food they are offered.

How big would a female blue be? I really like the coloration and I have my heart set on a female

I am going to start building the enclosure as soon as I get back from this trip. Does anyone have a good enclosure pic of what I should be recreating?

Dont know if that worked properly or not you might have to open another tab to actually see it.

That just doesn't sound right. 40 inches SVL plus tail would give you an 80+ inch tegu. Maybe you mean snout to tail (STL)?

Oh yeah my bad. That is snout to tail or I'd have a monster. Sorry to the OP as well as I got confused.

Do they have lots of blue tegus at expos? I'm going to Daytona this year for NRBC and I'll have to look for one there

How big would a black flame be? I like the look of those and apparently they are a lot less expensive than blues. Where would you get a cheap blue?
