Hello all!

[sherthisisit]

Hey folks,

Im Derek. After a handful of geckos, four snakes and two beardies I finally took the plunge and went for my dream pet, a yearling argentine black and white
He/she hasn't got a name yet, but I have to say it has the most wonderful patient temperament I've ever seen! For me, at least, all of the horror stories are completely unfounded
My tegu lives in a custom-built 6'x3'x3' vivarium with plenty to do in it, all of which I will upload photos of soon.

I look forward to sharing stories, questions, answers and memories with all of you!!

Derek

Welcome to the site congratulations on the new addition.
Who or where did you get your tegu from? Was it sold to you as a B&W or is there any history behind it? Because that's a Blue tegu not B&W.

:O Really?? How can you tell? I got it from probably the most reputable reptile seller in Ireland, a place called Reptile Haven in Dublin. As far as history goes Im told it was bred in Germany, is 4-6 months old and is datachipped

EDIT: Just did some research there and read about the singe mark, I never knew! Still a noob in the tegu world I guess haha!

Blue traits that I see,.. Burnt nose, tear drop and speckles on the legs. She looks a little under weight but that could just be the angle and pics. If fed properly that will change in time. Can you post better (full body) pics?

I will indeed once I get the time, and thank you again for enlightening me!! So are the blues still rare, or are they more commonplace now? Have they been officially classified as tupinambis merianae, or something else?

[Bubblz Calhoun]

Not a problem it helps to know what you have. Even though I for sure know it's' a blue a full body pic when ever you get a chance would verify. Nothing has changed on the classification front as far as I know. They're still a little harder to find for sale than other tegus. But it's that time of year so hopefully we'll start to see a few more clutches any time now.
