Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share some photos I took of my male argentine b/w tegu Roy today. I've had him for almost 2 months now and he's gained some weight but is not obese and is active (at least when he wants to be) and is very friendly towards me. Here he just ate 3 large mice and is basking in the sun on my porch....
enjoy,
Tristan

he measures in at about 37 inches as you can see he has a portion of his tail missing. i'm guessing that if he had his full tail he'd be about 40-41 inches. his snout to vent length is about 1.5 ft.
thanks for looking!

Dont have any new ones .Here is santiago

hey russ. i've seen those pics many times and everytime i'm in awe at santiago's size. he's truly an awesome creature!

i'm kinda curious about how long roy is supposed to be (if he had a complete tail) due to 3-4 inches missing off his tail. i'm gonna get an exact measurement from snout to vent and i'll let you know.

could you tell me how long santiago is from snout to vent and snout to tail so i could get a picture of how roy compares to him?

thanks

sssshhhhhh!!! my neighbors don't know about my herps i live on campus at a university and my apartment is the corner apartment. i'm on the second floor and my porch is quite secluded and no one can really look in... so this means less 'freaking out' about my herps. here's my setup in my room.

That is a beautiful tegu I didn't think that was a black and white it looks like the blue I saw a pet pet shop today. Did it always have all that white or did that come with age most I have seen look yellow but are called black and white

hi, i've only had him for about 2 months and he was already 3 ft and nicely colored when i got him. i drove about 45 minutes to see him and blown away at his coloration and personality that i had to bring him home.
do you have a tegu?
