Hahah yeah tegus have pretty much ruined other reptiles for me... In a good way though! Whenever I see other lizards I find myself comparing them to tegus, mostly the socialization. :P they're awesome to own and great buddies.
Yes, I would also guess around a year old. Diet can play a huge factor in size. I took in 2 argentines that were 2 years only and less than 2ft long. At the time they were fed once a week so they were smaller than average. Within a few months they really started to blow up and within a year...
I don't know the name you have mentioned but Ty Park (fb) is probably the number one breeder right now. Brad Wilson is highly reccomended. As is Hectors Habitat and John Darrel. They are all on facebook, probably floating around fauna as well. Hatchling season starts around May but they will...
Yes they are very smart and they really do learn to recognize their handlers. Guru is almost cat like, I won't say tame because hes an animal but we've had no issues... Anyway, he will let me pull things out of his mouth, hand feed him (not suggested, be ready to be accidentally bitten but I've...
This is one I had a couple years ago. He was a 75/25 blue x red. Some of the red on his back was scarring, I only had him for a year or so. I think he was 3 or so when these pics were taken.

Guru a male argentine black and white tegu, my...

They've recently announced that they're looking for a home for a young (yearling) female argentine tegu. It's a great rescue, both of my females came from the rescue.
Welcome. For temps you want to aim for a surface temp of 125-135*F. When measuring temps you always want to use a temp gun, they are more accurate and measure the actual surface temps vs the ambient temps that probes measure. Temp guns can be fairly inexpensive, I got mine at petsmart a few...
Yea it was something I kinda regret but I honestly think it was a probably a good idea with what was going on at the time. He was gone like 5-6 months and it feels like he's filled out a bunch but it could just be because I haven't seen him in a while. I'm hoping I can get a weight this week! I...
