I've been keeping tegus for about 6 ears now and started attempting to breed them 4 years ago with zero success. I live in San Antonio, TX and keep my adults outside and they hibernate every year, breed and lay eggs BUT the eggs are dried up simply because no matter what I did I could not keep the nest wet enough in 100 degree, dry Summer days. So with that being said every time I collected the eggs they were dry and shriveled up. I essentially had given up hope but this year I went nuts and basically just poured water over the nesting site daily. The female didn't seem to mind and when I noticed she laid, only 6 of the 41 eggs were duds.
I currently have 32 that are showing veins. Huge improvement over the last few years I would say. Anyways, here's a pic of some of the eggs.
Oh, and the male is B&W and the female possible het for albino blue. Babies should be adorable! I am definitely keeping one as a pet only animal. The parents are handleable but not the gentle giants some of you guys have. I want one I can bring inside and have a little supervised freedom in my house.
Anyways, enjoy the pic.
