Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I'm planning on getting an iguana at the upcoming herp show that can share my diet. I'm wondering if there are any tegus though that have the same.

im a little confused. what is "your diet"? argentinian black and white tegus are omnivores....
-----
1.0.0 arg. b/w tegu
1.1.0 white's tree frog- popeye, jack
0.1.0 southern painted turtle- ms.tortle
0.1.0 crested gecko- crimson
1.0.0 pinto hedgehog- dante

No such thing as tegus that are vegan(i.e. eating no animal biproducts/animals)

Green Iguanas, please research their specific diet and care before purchasing/rescueing. They can be incredibly difficult to take care of.

Im sure there are plenty more iguanas needing rescuing that would love to share your home and diet.Bearded Dragons need insects as babies but are mostly vegan as adults(better check the beardie forum to be sure). A bunny or guinea pig would love your home too.Im sure if you do your research you can find other lizards that are purely vegie and fruit eaters, I cant think of any off the top of my head though.

If you cant touch dead mice or raw meat then DONT get a Tegu.I am not a big meat eater myself and really hate dealing with raw meat but do it for my many carnivorous creatures(including ferrets) that I have, its not always fun especially cleaning up leftovers..
Tegus eat insects, mice and or ground turkey, with some veges and fruit.

Thank you for the info. This forum was much kinder than the other one.
My diet is vegan and while I don't have a problem touching dead mice, I just realized I would be much happier with a vegan lizard. And before I decided for sure to get an iguana I wanted to see if there were other options.

Thanks again.

Get a uro. They're as vegan as anybody.

Am I too late?
