My tegu

Just got him today, he is already, digging drinking and burrowing. Really great colors and patterns as we'll.

Let me know what you guys think!

Congrats! I don't know a whole lot about Tegus (Lizards Period), but I am always happy to see someone sharing a new addition!

The local reptile storefront by me has a beautiful big Tegu (Reddish) female, wife says no though!

Nice b&w. I hope that tank isn't his last stop?

Oh god no! This tank is a 75g and as you can see has plenty space for a hatchling. Look how small he is compared to the basking platform and then look at the cage pic with the platform to get an idea of how much space he has.

I plan to give him an 8x4 by next summer. We'll it really depends on whether or not he hibernates. Either way he won't be spending over 8months in there.

I already have a cage builder,designs and all. :D

Good! I have seen way To many people get in over their heads with tegus and monitors.

Yeah i hear you. But i did my research and actually keep a fair amount of reptiles, i am also a dedicated member on a tegu forum. I know exactly how big and how fast these guys can get.

Congrats on your pickup! A little deeper substrate please ;)

Nice looking tegu :gj:

Thanks and its actually about 5-6" all around which is plenty good for him. But i was thinking of adding more being the hibernation season is about to roll around.
