This is not a list of what you can/should give them, but a list of what mine will actually eat.

thawed frozen mice
snails-from my organic garden-no pesticides
eggs-cooked or raw from my own hens
chicken-cooked
beef-cooked
pork-cooked
salmon-cooked

I had a male blue tegu that ate grapes, banana, apple, citrus, melon, mango, but he died. the two I have now won't touch any fruits or vegetables. They seem to be doing splendidly. the mice are the main staple of thier diet, dusted with herp-vite calcium and vitamins.

attatched is a picture of the blue male taken today on his basking rock.

1 Col. B&W Tegu, 2 Savanna Monitors, 1 Black Throat Monitor, 1 Iguana, 3 snakes (Gray Banded King, Amazon Tree Boa, Ribbon), 1 bearded dragon, 1 vailed chameleon, Ferret, 5 fish, 2 parakeets, 6 turtles (3 water ?, 2 box) 3 Dogs, 2 cats. And I am sure the next hurt or abandonded (ect.) animal any one we know finds will soon live here too! Plus me, Hubby, our 3 kids, and 4 sisters that are not ours by blood. One BIG happy family
