Well I doubt its mating behavior too because Teggie can get quite vicious about it, like he will go into an alligator roll while latched on and everything. It was crazy. She hasn't been badly hurt...

So I had two Columbian's living together. There is Teggie, a black and white tegu that is about 2 feet long (gender unknown), give or take an inch, and Astrid, a golden that is about 16 to 18 inches...
I'm not sure. I am not overly interested in determining their gender, really. I'd have a hard time trying to think of them as something other than what I think of them now (Teggie - male, Astrid -...
She hangs out with the bigger one all the time and never seems to have a problem with him. I just think its because she just has that harder-to-tame personality. Also I have no idea if they really...
Just some updated pictures of my two Colombians Tegusaurus Rex and Astrid...Astrid is the gold one, and she is not at all happy with people. She runs, though. She wont try and bite unless you grab...
Almost all the animals there in that picture (except for mine) have been doing this for years. The kids were feeding the iguanas collards and stuff, they tried giving some to Teggie but he just...
Okay so apparently she only got one not-so-good picture of Tegs being held by a little kid....

I am a member/officer (webmaster, don't really do much) of my college's Herpetology Club. This past Saturday we went to a local Elementary school for their science fair. We brought our own pets from...

Mine don't like fruit.....their favorites are ground turkey mixed with beef liver and fuzzy mice.
Thanks! ^_^ Astrid has eaten two fuzzies for me since I got her. She didn't want any of the ground turkey or beef liver I offered her but I'll get her to eat some eventually. Fuzzies are good enough...
Well, tegu love of basking lights maybe :P Teggie and Astrid are my two Columbians who are now sharing a tank together, it seems they at least tolerate each other well enough! And you can really tell...
Awww he's got a little round belly on him! So cute ^_^
Astrid ate her first fuzzy last night! :grin:
I certainly wouldn't recommend lightning to make him more red....that would just make him more crispy, which may not be such a bad thing, he might taste kind of good.
Your red has such a sweet face with those big ol' jowls :D And the Savannah is adorable as well!
I think she is actually in the act of pooping in that picture....LOL
Teggie and Astrid taking a bath together! You can see he is a bit bigger than her. Her head is also more slender and a little longer. I dont know if thats a difference between black and golds and...
She is absolutely adorable! :D
I gave her my shirt to sleep with last night. And she's so unpredictable as to when she will decide to run off, she had gotten a warm bath because she looked like an unraveling mummy, and she was...
We tried taking her out today for a bit of movie time. Discovered just how fast tegus can run...lol. But once we caught her she was fine :P
I have heard a lot of stories as well but I have one already that is the sweetest thing, he has never shown any aggression or skittishness. Astrid has not shown any aggression either but the guy said...
She is a jumper! I didn't think tegus jumped but several times now while holding her she has jumped right out of my hands. She will just be sitting there all calm and then boop! she's on the floor....
I know, I know, I'm pushing my luck. I have one absolutely sweet little black and white Colombian tegu so when I went to the Columbia, SC reptile show and saw these little black and golds, held each...
Bad news guys.....little iggy passed on this afternoon. :( I don't have any idea why, he seemed fine, but I went out at 1 and came back at 4:30 and somewhere in there he died. Sucks. :(
