My Tegus!

Ok well I thought I should post some pictures of my tegus considering thats the main thing I specialize in when it comes to reptiles...

To start off, I would like to say I currently have 5 tegus.
1.2 Argentine Black and White Tegus
and 1.1 Blue Tegus 66% het Albino

I got these tegus over a 1 year time period. When I got the first one, ya he was a bit nippy when he came out of the box and for about 2 months. But with lots of love, dedication, and trust, he overcame this timidness towards humans. Now hes a 3' big baby of love. Sometimes he throws "some" tempertantrums, but other than that hes the coolest tegu I've seen. I named him Rex because he resembles a dinosaur

Heres a picture of when he first came to my house. Check out the stunny white he has one him. Hes one of the whitest tegus I've ever seen with my two eyes.




Hes also very funny when hes out. He loves to hang out and sleep on your chest, or go behind your back and sleep. A lot of times when I'm on the computer he likes to get behind my back and dig into the chair and sleep there.



Right now hes sleeping for the winter. When he wakes up, I'll take more pictures. Heres a picture of him on the my chair before he went under.



Here are my 2 girls. They are very very tame tegus. Even when they first came out of the shipping box, they were very tame. Currently I house them in 30 gallon rubbermaids. When they awake from hibernation, they will be moved to custom 6'x2'x2' cages. They love to sit in front of my window and soak up the heat from the summer sun. They cant anymore though, well not atleast until they wake up from hibernation. I named the whiter one stella and the darker large one Athena.





Last buy not least, my blue tegus 66% het albino. They were very skiddish when I first got them. I would walk downstairs and you could hear loud bumping noises, it was them running back and foward hitting their nose on the cage "trying" to escape.
Here is the male.


and the female


Their names are Artemis and Pandora.

I hoped you enjoyed my pictures.

I miss my tegus, they are the coolest lizards to be sure. When they get real big they are fun to leash and litter box train. So dang smart it is silly. Do you feed them turkey diet, or just rodents/chicks? So cute.
