    Good luck with everything Ben. Please keep us posted. Did you ask the person if the Tegu ever hibernated ?

    Hi guys, I got an answer from the seller.

    Unfortunatly the seller want to sell me the Tegu for 70$ which is too much for an unhealthy animal (imo) . He told me that he only used a 80W bulb and no UVA/UVB light.
    Plus he doesn't have any picture of his tegu, only picture took on google, and I believe that his tegu is not a Argentine but a Colombian (many keeper in Quebec don't know the difference)
    I believe due of the bad feeding schedule/quantity/diet + without UVA/UVB lamp the animal might have developped MBD or other health problem.
    Due of the long distance, poor information and neglecting keeping strategy and an illogical price, I won't save the little, I feel sorry for him.

    However, I did send a response to his answer, telling him to change many information and keeping method for the tegu. (Telling him the cage/growth myth is false, need higher temperature, bigger cage, more varied diet and adding UVA/UVB light for a better health, I hope this person will listen what I told him and give a better care and better future for this tegu.)
