Damn....that is one big friggin' tegu. That makes pretty much all the adult males I've seen look small. Wow. I want to know who raised one that big, and what breeding led to one that size! That makes even some of the Extremes I've seen look small.

That's completely normal for a red tegu if raised under proper an better than ordinary conditions. I believe that's the red LLL Reptile has as a store pet, but I may be wrong. Not too sure. Reds generally get quite large. That's a damn well healthy red.

They can get quite large, but are also individuals. Just like NBA players are a little out of normal range.

Looks normal to me since size ranges. On top of that take into consideration size distortions in pics since we don't know how tall or what size the girl holding it is. Which doen't look that tall to me.

Was about to say the same thing! Having a friend of mine hold anything makes it look huge since she's around 4'8", on the other end of the spectrum my partner is 6'7" and makes larger animals look dwarfed.
Without knowing how tall the woman holding it is we'd never know its size going off of one image. She looks like she could be on the tiny side, comparing her to the things around her, but that could easily be perspective.
