    What type of tegu is this?

    Wikipedia describes the gold tegu as also being known as Columbian, but this is also a journey I've started (trying to find out what exact species Columbians are, since they're physically similar* to Argentines). It looks like a Columbian, and while a lot of people say they're basket cases, mine...

    My Tegu Pictures

    I just want to thank this user for actually explaining what the problem was instead of attacking OP for doing something wrong. This user wasn't a jerk about it, but helped to educate OP which is what we should all be here for. I just do NOT understand why 99% of the people on this site feel...

    Very interested in raising a Tegu.

    I'm new here, but I have a Columbian black and white tegu baby. I'd say she's about 10" including her tail and she's more than comfortable in a 20 gallon tank. I'm not really understanding why others are seeming to be so rude when answering this, maybe it's just me? But I think a 60 gallon would...

    New Member Introduction

    Hi everyone. I'd like for this to be an introduction thread so you can get to know me and I can get to know the active members on the site. I just had a lot typed up but accidentally navigated away from the page and it's all been deleted, so this probably won't be as thought out/descriptive as...
