I don't know how much to feed my new guy.
I am sure in nature a tegu does not get to stuff themselves every single day. I would imagine they eat little bits all the time and stumble upon a feast every once in a while.
I don't like the idea of power feeding, but feast and then famine is probably not the best for them either.
I want to feed him well. When he needs it for good steady growth.
I am pretty sure I know what to feed (mice, roaches, turkey, eggs, fruit); I just don’t know how much or how often.

how old is he?

when they are young...feed 'em till they stop eating...when they get older you should slow it down as they are prone to obestity.

He is about 8 months and 19 inches.

Sorry I meant to put that in the post. I knew it would be relevant.

oh yeah...the little red we talked about in the other forum...forgive me I forget names...

Feed him every day until he stops eating :D . When he's about three feet, then reconsider his diet as he may start to grow obese.
