argentine tegu?

ok - ever since i've first been interested in lizzards 0 i've wanted a tegu (a b&w argentine male to be ecact) i've heard that they are the most gentel of the bigger lizzards and the most people friendly. now i have the room to look into getting one for real.

whats the deal with UVB?? i know this is contraversal but should i get a uvb??

what minerals and calcium supplements do they need??

any other good info or personal experiance and of course photos if you have them

yes uvb is very important! And spike is correct I use megrays.
I would suggest the sb series--160's unless you want to get fancy and technical
also thetegu.com has some for sale--rick sisco is taking egg deposits. His tegus are quite tame out of the box too.

Can you tell us more about the B&W tegus, Nicole?? I've been interested in them along with the Green Igs for a really long time now.

Are they really the nicest of the big lizards??
