    Year Old BW Tegu Appearance question

    Hi all, This would be easier if I had a picture to describe what I am about to discuss, but I am on lunch break and not at home. I had a BW many years ago and have recently gotten a juvenile. He has almost doubled in size in the last 3 months or so and is around a year old. I am concerned...
