You can look at my other videos(under wolfyhound) to see some of the other lizards, ignore the UFO one.

Here's some pics from today!

Noah, fat belly(prego?)

Great looking tegus, that red one is huge I love it:gj:

Coool I like tegus but they get fat! lol

Sorry for highjacking but are tegus prone to fatty liver disease?

I've never heard of tegus with fatty liver disease, but I don't consider myself any sort of an expert. I can call the UF vet school and ask the vet there who specializes in exotics and reptiles.

Its just that it seem Tegus get really big(fat) like a savannah monitor and that's unhealthy.

unless pregnant i would agree, but your red looks amazing! is ur red very docile, a couple i have owned are the most amazing tegus i ever owned/worked with! they all seem to have great temperments and amazingly smart!! nice photos!

Tegus ARE a heavey bodied lizard. I think a little "excess" baggage on a Tegu is a little normal, but Noah has got a pretty large belly

I try to be sure my tegus and my monitor do NOT get obese. They are fed either every other day(light meals of 1 mouse) or every third day(2-3 mice), and I go heavy on fruit(mainly apples and grapes) in between.
If you look at other than the belly, Noah is not particularly fat elsewhere, AND today Noah decided to make a nest like den(in the rubbermaid den I put in) in the pen. Perhaps she is prego. We'll have to see. I feed by tongs, so I know Noah is not eating everyone's food too(mice, obviously, not the fruit).

hey, im in florida too.. what do you do with them when it gets "cold" out? very pretty!
