Well my tegu is 10 months old over three feet long and has not hibernated and today he left me a sperm plug. At what age are tegu's usually sexually mature?

Reds can breed at two years old, and black n whites at three, however, it is thought that two year old black n white males can breed but not the females.

He is an argentine black and white tegu, So when they leave a sperm plug that means they are sexually mature right?? And if so then that means my tegu is mature very early.

No, just because you see sperm plugs does not mean he is mature.

Jasper is the tegu Carole has, he is over four feet and is about 10 months old, he came from my stock at Daytona last year. Tegus can reach four feet long if they are not hibernated, and hibernated ones are about two ft.
