Hmm, I rescued an Argentine Red from the same guy I recued my BP from. Beefy (Tegu), has a lot of attitude on him! Supposedly the reds are very docile but Beefy is anything but docile :shock: He hates my hand in the tank, and lunges trying to assert his dominance every time I am doing maitenence. He is a hell of a character though and I love him We'll see just how his temperment unfolds. I hope to be able to take him for walks in the summer on a leash (no- i'm not joking )

I do have a question though. I have him in a 75g with full spectrum UVA/UVB lighting, water bowl etc., I understand the baisic requirements. However there isn't much info on their diet except that they eat alot of fruits and can eat chicken and turkey. So far i've fed Beefy kiwi, bananna, grapes, starfruit, etc. and cooked chicken with vitamin/calcium supplements and ground turkey with the same supplements. What else can I feed him? What do you feed yours?

I think i'm getting hooked on these guys and my mom is too! She is already talking about getting another Tegu next year, except this one from a breeder. It would be an Albino Blue Tegu.
