Hello everybody!
Within the next one or two years I plan on getting one of these two tegu species. IÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢m a little torn on which one though.
As far as IÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢m aware there are only two real differences between the two; diet and size.
What is the differences between their diets?
Is it true that Red Tegus suffer from shedding problems?
And, perhaps most importantly, which of the two is easier to tame? From what I understand both of these tegus are easier to tame than most monitors and are both certainly easier than columbian tegus. None the less I want to take as few chances as possible and try to get the easiest to tame of them all.
Also, when are those adorable little green-headed hatchlings available? Are they seasonal? IMO itÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s far more rewarding to raise a little baby lizard into an adult than simply buying an adult.
Thank you all in advance.
P.S. one of the reptile specialists at my local petstore a few months ago said that the biggest tegu breeder in the US died recently. I don't remember who he said that was, but I'm a little worried about what this might mean about the availability of hatchlings in the upcoming season.
I don't know if this is related but I also noticed that Varnyard seemed to be the biggest tegu breeder that I came across and it doesn't seem like the website has been updated in a while... Umm, am I making a connection here that shouldn't be or am I on to something?
