Hi everyone. I am new here, but not completely new to tegus. We adopted our first tegu last year in January. We got him from a dog shelter, someone surrendered him, told the owner of the shelter that he was a 1-2 years old, a black and white tegu. He was full grown and living in a 75 gallon tank (don’t worry, we fixed that a few months after adopting him). They were wrong, Hagrid is a black and gold tegu, and he’s a cranky thing! He loves mice, raw chicken, raw steak & raw eggs. His new enclosure takes up about half my living room. He loves it, doesn’t necessarily love us. he’s happy as long as we don’t try to hold him. He will try to get out through his windows, and when we let him out, he hides. It’s okay! He’s a lot of fun!
Yesterday we got a young black and white baby! When the store got him, he was a hatchling, and not doing so hot. He’s still a little green, but he’s growing! Fast! We looked at pictures of him about 2 weeks ago and he’s grown so much since then!! I’m so excited, and already learning new information (black and golds eat very different from black and whites). We don’t have a name for the little guy, but it’s been 24 hours. As you can tell from Hagrid, I’m a fan of Harry Potter names! So far little guy (we assume he’s a guy) is eating dubia roaches, he ate 4 or 5 earlier before he was done with my nonsense!
