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!

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!

Gracie is cute

Hey again! I figured I'd just keep adding pictures here to this thread. Updated news is that Gracie has been breeding Groo, but unfortunately was a little rough, and put a nasty cut on her lower back. It's healing nicely. I'm keeping her inside in a "hospital pen" where I can keep it exceptionally clean, and treat her, without the other tegus messing with her, or continuing to try to breed of course. So she eats every evening in the kitchen, and here she is.

I'm always right there, mainly so I can make sure the dogs don't eat her food. The dogs love her, and often try to lick her face, which she tolerates it.
Hope you enjoy.

Those lizards are really awesome!

A large lizard is definatley on my one day list. I just don't know what type.
