Nice, my male is at 19 inches. I think all those rodents you feed gave yours the extra 2 inches! I'd measure my female but she has been down the last 2 days. She's probably around 17-18 inches.

Get fuzzies/hoppers. Your guy can def. handle them and are much more nutritious.

Definitly feed him the fuzzies and some of this stuff, it works...

And it keeps them "regular"! I mix cod liver oil in with the ground turkey once a week. It's very stinky though.

The only place I could find it was GNC. A few drug stores has Mint flavored cod liver oil.

See the above link.

One teaspoon per one pound of ground turkey for tegus. This can be fed once or twice a week.

Ripper has went from pinkies to fuzzies and now mice. Look at the comparison from how small he was to now.
