Hi guys, I have put the down payment on An extreme giant, and a high contrast red tegu from Bobby. I wanted to see what your reds from him looked like from any ages: hatchlings, young, and mature. Thanks.

Rexie passed, but here are photos of him as a yearling and adult. He was awesome! I got him as a yearling and he was 3yo when he passed.

thx, he was really pretty and I was quite fond of him. I'm not exactly sure how he passed but I have a good idea. The Argentine tegus are kept in my garage. It's a block home and being in FL, the temps don't go too low. One year we had a unseasonably cold winter. Our heater died and we found out that we had a gas leak; the whole thing had to be replaced. His cage was right next to the gas furnace out in the garage, and on the bottom of the rack. Since he died during hibernation, we're not sure if he got too cold one night, or if the gas settled into his cage and he died of asphyxiation. I could smell the gas in the garage and his side vents opened right toward the furnace. I'm thinking it was the gas leak. Poor guy.

Rex was one hell of a good looking red Laura, sorry for your loss. At least he passed in his sleep.

I know, I was glad he died in his sleep. But I was the one who found him and it was such a shock. It was the first time I ever found a pet dead...well besides fish and hamsters and stuff.

Hes/shes not hard on the eyes at all ;) Do any of you know how Bobby's high contrast reds turn out? Are they super bright red (not pink or orange or yellow), like do the males usually look like the big gorgeous red on his varnyard store site?
Thanks.

Do you mean what happened to the 2011 reds? If so, thats still kind of a hot topic. That discussion usually ends up getting out of hand.

I do not have any reds, I have seen/heard the male reds tend to have the brighter coloring. The lighting can also change the coloring a little bit. My hybrid shows a little bit of color variation depending on the light I have him in.
