Experts in tegu care?

[murph89]

Hello all, I'm writing a "how to" care sheet for one of my school courses, and need to "interview" an expert. Anyone with several years experience or who has successfully bred would be awesome! I have a list of questions, and if someone could answer, that would be awesome. I'd also need your name and e-mail address, which could be pm'd to me. Thanks so much.

How long have you been caring for tegus?
How did you get into tegu care?
What would be the most important item to consider before purchasing a tegu?
What are the dangers of owning a tegu?
What is the best staple food for a tegu, in your opinion?
What is the minimum sized housing requirements for an adult?
Which type of tegu makes the best pet?

I don't consider myself an expert, but would be happy to be help. My daughter was admitted to the hospital today for possible appendicitis, so it be a bit before I can respond.

Great, thank you so much! (I do totally consider you an expert, by the way. I checked out your website. So much awesome!) And I hope your daughter doesn't have appendicitis.
