Stella told me that her big red was 18years old when she sold him,also told me a tegu in some zoo lived to 18 years. Even Bert said thatsome of his tegu got that old.As for size , some of the books say that Argentin Blk& wht tegus can get59" long.That would be a Huge tegu. Probly around 25 lbs if they got that big.Ive herd that male bluse can get4', as well I have herd of Columbian Males reching 4'. Some of Ron and Stellas Blue tegus look to be close to 4'.Any ways hope this helps Russ
