Hello to all, I'm new here and also to the tegu world.
Mainly a boa guy but had monitors before Savannas, golden Col. & BW Col tegus. Didn't really get in to it as much as i am now. Went back to the serpents for the past 18 years.
Recently got an Arg. Red in a trade, very laid back.
Young though about 15-16 in from tip to tip. I'm an avid fisherman and hunter, wing shooter mainly(ducks,dove)
Not too many big deer down here in S FL. Hogs different story.
Anyway, would it be acceptable to give my little guy the dove, duck hearts and other fleshy innards, maybe a chopped up breast. I have been reading on here they eat fish and seafood as well? I always have fresh fish and seafood. How about lobster, shrimp, clams?(yep, we catch those here too, gotta love S FL's variety)
As you can tell variety isn't a problem, just don't want to make him sick.
I haven't tried ground turkey yet, that's today. Keeping my fingers crossed, he eats it. Going to pick up some gizzards too.
He has been with me for a few weeks now. Eats calcium dusted super worms off tongs, crickets and hopper mice. Mice I'm offering 2-3 times a week. Incects are just left overs from my fat tail geckos.
Any suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated
I will post in the other sections about his/her living conditions
Thanks for your time
Bobby
