He's already 3ft plus, If he keeps up at the same rate he will be grown or the worlds largest tegu in a year lol. I wonder what the biggest tegu size is on record?? hmmmm could be something to keep an eye on.

Biggin is a 2012 Bobby hill Extreme, he eats whole ground animal and insect diet, most from haretodaygonetomorrow.com.

I love this guy!

Well there is a visual dif. in their heads, kind of like a croc vs. a alligator. The Extremes Eggs are larger as well. So if you look at the head of both the regular B&W and the Extreme you will see that the extreme has a longer pointer nose and the regular a shorter nose (see the distance from the eye to the nose tip in proportion, easier to see from top down.). Bobby hill has some details and visuals you can ref. on his site and others that you can Google. All in all they are just larger and have more high white coloration.

Oh and they grow much faster lol.

Man Kirby turned five months the 14th I was hoping he'd catch up lol!! He's put on like 10 inches since I got him but now only seems to gain girth and is 27 inches long lol

Biggin is a sexy tegu! I love his size lol

He is handsome :). Can't give bobby credit for much else these days but he does produce some nice tegus. So far nobodies giants come close to his. Just goes to show what selective breeding can do

Thanks, I must have got lucky, Bobby was awesome to work with thru my experience. I've never seen someone care so much thru the shipping process. He always returned my call and shipped my tegu when he said. I didn't even put my deposit down till the first of March and got Biggin in July :). I really wanted to always keep a tegu and hoped that I could order from him again. I bet he stops breeding them after this mess. Plus it would be hard to trust that I'd get my tegu if I did try and get another.
