[Dirkthejerk41]

Hi all, I know there is a similar thread but I didn't see a whole lot of activity on it so I was curious if ya'll could post some pictures of your big Colombian tegus?? Even through a Google image search I cannot find much, but I know ya'll have them!

[Dirkthejerk41]

wow! so are they full grown?

 

[kymzilla]

Nope. They're only almost a year old. I don't think they'll get much longer but they're starting to film out lots now.

awesoooome i love chunky lizards! Mine is about 20 inches now, but probably only and inch and a half across lol

My biggest one easily weighs 5lbs. He's a beast. My smaller ones starting to chuck up. They're both 30"

that's awesome, it is crazy how fast they grow. Mine grows at least 2 inches a month.

 

[Dirkthejerk41]

Would you say yours have calmed down a bit as they are getting larger?

 

[kymzilla]

The big one is nearly dog tame. The smaller one is super fast and kinda skittish, and tail whips a lot. But sometimes he surprises me and will just come sit on my stomach if I'm laying on the couch ignoring him.

Kodo is a bit over three feet. No idea how much he weighs but I'm guessing 3 to 5 pounds.

[treysik]

Very nice! Looking very pretty! Love the gu's!

I'm bad about getting photos. Here are some old ones I have. They are both about 37" as best as I could measure a walking lizard, lol.
