I've heard some people express a concern about that...personally I've fed my tegus a piece or two of orange a couple times with no ill effects, HOWEVER, i'd suggest sticking to a proven safe fruit as a staple.

I have heard of feeding a tegu bits of orange, but I never truely trusted the idea myself. They may be fine, but one has to wonder if it could cause long term effects to the tegus digestive tract.
