Hi everyone, So I acquired a Columbian Tegu about a month ago! and I just wanted to update some info, when i bought him he was 8.5 inches long, he is now a whopping 14 .....this guy grows ridiculously fast.
He is currently in his 3rd shed and has a recovering wound on his back that is almost healed over, the picture of the wound makes it look a lot worse than it actually is. I will try and take a better photo!
Also to anybody searching for a new Tegu, dont be deterred by Colombians bad reputation, These guys are just as sweet as an Argentine provided you handle it every day and feed a proper diet and keep his enclosure and lighting is just right.
It all comes down to which one you want.
As you can see in the attachments me and him regularly hang out while i do computer work or am just relaxing and playing games. Couldnt ask for a more fun Tegu! thats for sure!
