We got Toki in September and I think that she was no more than a couple weeks old. Just tiny I think not much more than 6".
She is currently in a 2'x4'x2' enclosure with mercury vapor bulb. She eats dubias, super worms, ground turkey, fruit, egg, calcium and vitamin supplements. She has never been a ravenous eater but is not skinny either. she is now about 5 months old and only 15" and has had 3 full body sheds since we got her. She is getting ready for shed 4. I noticed a few loose scales on her face this morning. Has anyone else had a tegu grow this slowly? I don't care that she is little, she has been to the herp vet who says she is perfectly healthy. She is puppy dog tame and seems totally happy. It just seems to me that all the baby tegus I see on here grow pretty fast. I am just wondering if this is unusual? Maybe she is just going to be a tegu dwarf?
