Hi people.
Tegus reportedly grow up to 1.30 ~ 1.40 meters, but mine is 4 years and it was only 1.15 meters, and frankly I've never seen a tegu over 1.20 meters, I think "1.40 meters "is legend.
My adult male tegu is 4 years old and 1.13 meters long, was to be 1.15 meters but he lost 2 inches of tail a few months and they cm never grew back.
The question is ...
Even with 4 years of age, he still growing?
Until the age tegus grow?
My tegu is native, brazilian... and I feed on average 2 or 3 times a week with fish, chicks, live rats (1 or 2 per month) eggs, quail (1 per month, sometimes), banana and... banana (it's the only fruit he eats, usually 1 per week + calcium supp), sometimes, and rarely... I can make him eat pieces of tomato or mango, arugula, watercress, and a few basil leaves, in the meat.
This diet is correct?
My 4 year old tegu:
Good shape?
I'm a young brazilian guy, and... my english sux.
