I'm getting one for Ellie, only because a close friend is giving me a great deal, and even then, it will only be temporary. I don't think they are very fitting for an adult tegu, for many reasons.
Yesterday morning I had to put down my beloved basset hound due to cancer. I was an emotional wreck the whole day, and surprisingly, when I went to get out Ellie, she came up to me and put her head into my hands, let my scratch her neck for a long time, and then calmly crawled up my arm. The...
Went down to get my feeders today and saw a nice looking argentine black & white tegu for sale. Apparently some one turned it in because they didn't want it anymore, and its aggressive. If there are any experienced handlers looking for a "project tegu" in the central FL area, its a pretty decent...
Ellie is at 30 inches! She's a fierce eater, and still has her "I'm too good for you" attitude, but has improved since I've let her free roam my room and carried her throughout the house. Here's some recent pictures.

No, he didn't hibernate/brumate at all. I had the thermometer in there and on the hot spot it moved up to about 86 degrees, and not much more. Just for a general aspect its between 85-90 on the hot side, and he is usually right there under his light.
