Still researching this a little. Some places say that tegus, in general, need fruit.
Agama International has this line in it's Argentine caresheet.
"If your tegu does not eat anything besides meat products, it is most likely a Columbian tegu of some sort."
Does this mean columbians don't need fruit? or do they need it?
In general, Colombians don't eat as much or any whereas Argies will eat alot and reds seem to NEED lots of vitamin C in their diet to facilitate proper shedding and good skin condition. I would say if you have/get a Colombian, try the fruit - it won't hurt them either way. When I had my Colombian, I never tried fruit and she grew to beautiful 3 foot puppy tame adult. Good luck!
