I just bought an Argentine b&w male tegu from a guy who had a male and female about the same size 3ft. He housed them together in a 40 gallon. I know not the best enclosure. He is also selling the female. The female is more tame than the male. I'm housing my male in a 5x3x2 enclosure with around 5 inches of substrate consisting of peat moss organic topsoil and pure cypress mulch. The male rarely comes out and is not eating much I've had him 3 days so I attribute it to being in a new environment. He may have a bite mark but when I got him they were curled up together. I have 2 100 watt basking bulbs over the tank and an 18 inch 10.0 reptisun uvb inside the enclosure about a foot above the substrate. My question is do they form a bond with other tegus. Also should you House a male and female together. Is my enclosure to small for the both of them. Here are some pictures of my boy Mac. He is not tame at all so I will be working with him once he fits into his new digs. Also he's in shed. And there will be pictures of poss bite marks. I'm not sure though.
