I picked him up at the Kemptville Reptile Expo today :-D . He's just a wee little guy still has a bit of green on his under belly. He's currently in a 36"x12"x12" and in a bit I'll buy him a nice big Rubber-maid bin . I'll get pictures as soon as possible.

Lets see some pics!! Tegu's are very social reptiles... I wouldnt recomend putting him in a rubber-maid bin. maybe a larger tank, or build him a cage.

I know they need large cages and all, but what does being a social animal have to do with a larger cage?

well Rubbermaid's dont a allow the tegu to see out..therefore they cant see people walking by or anything. I mean i guess if you cut peaces out it would be ok... but i wouldnt house any of my reptiles in a rubbermaid, besides a snake maybe.

OHHH I get it! See when he said Rubbermaid for some reason I was picturing the big clear ones, but those are Iris containers :)

He's still got a little bit of green on him so I'd say hatchling? He's SO social already! It's amazing he's let me hold him and my girlfriend. He/She has eaten 8 crickets already but won't touch his kale . I keep telling him that if he doesn't eat his greens he's not gonna be as big as Bobby's boys :lol:

Lol well you might have to mix veggies up with his meats to get him to eat them.

I find them every now and then at Wal-Mart, but it is rare. And I agree with everyone else, love to see some pics. Also congrats!! :)
