Welcome To Tegus From Around The World

Picture
​The main thing to think about before acquiring a Tegu is the size they can obtain. These animals can get quite large. Some can get over 5 feet long and over 20 pounds. Of the Argentine's the Blues are the smallest and the Chacoan Giants can be the largest(rare cases). The Colombians are even smaller than the ones above. When choosing a Tegu  it is best to look for a healthy animal. Look for one to be alert, active, and of good weight. Also look at the base of the tail it should be nice and round. I would also suggest not buying imports. These tend to have a greater chance of having parasites. some can be wilder, and tend to not tame down as well as captive bred babies. When buying a Tegu  look to get them that are from good reputable breeders, this way you have a much better chance of getting a healthy Tegu.  Many pet shops deal in imports, and are often not the best choices when looking for a pet.
