So after waiting and waiting our extreme has arrived. It looks to me like he is from a pretty recent clutch. Hopefully he is a he we will know eventually I guess here are a few pics he hasn't been home but maybe 20 mins in these pics.

YA he/she doesn't look as green when your holding it, but my camera picked up every bit of it lol. Maybe ours is younger and so it has green still no idea lol. He doesn't want to eat yet but hopefully soon. What are you feeding yours?

Ground turkey mixed with beef liver mixed with a bit of egg and calcium without d3
She stared at it for about 10 minutes licking it to death, but she took 5 good bites and walked away.

It is probably from the same clutch as mine. Probably only about 6-7 weeks old right now. But I have been feeding mine like crazy so he looks way bigger than yours already lol


Does your extreme have the v under his neck?

I HIGHLY doubt it is much over 3 weeks if that. It has a lot of green on it and is about 8 inches in length to the tip of its tail and is a little bigger around than my thumb. So don't think it is from your clucth. I have not looked for a v under his neck but I will once he is calmer.

So is there any for sure way to tell if my baby is an extreme or is it more wait and see?

Check out the Extreme Tegu sub forum on here. There's some differences and pictures explained on there but I still kant tell the difference. Lol! Gotta trust your breeder or where you get your tegu from. Either way, you got a nice tegu, import, extreme or normal.

Yes very pretty, we just pay for quality healthy animals, or a name? Just think about that, I love my little guy, no matter were he came from.

I forget...are you trying meat or crickets? I ask because when I got niles he didn't eat anything then he ate like a pig...but i think at the pet store he had been fed crickets not meat, so needed that 'wiggle ' stimulation to want to eat. I did offer him crickets as a treat the other day and he downed like 18 of them...he has been eating less and less meat for me now.I'm almost thinking it's nearing hibernation time...so perhaps that is what the babies are doing too? Eating less because planning on a long winter's nap... :)
