Michelle,

Good to see you in the Tegu Forum.

Care sheets are a little scarce for Tegus, currently the best information I've found on-line have been at the following:

http://www.bluetegu.com

http://www.agamainternational.com

As you are familiar with caring for monitors, I think you'll find Tegu care is very similar in many regards. Depending on the species they range from strict carnivores to being omnivorous, so specific dietary issues require careful scrutiny.
Feel free to post away, I'm sure others will be happy to share their thoughts and experiences and their information as well.

Take Care,

-Kit

the 2 sites she gave are the best. for anything else you need to know. just ask this is a much "nicer" forum than the monitor forum. hehe

Heres the sites I found when I went looking for Tegu info:
