What's the largest tegu you've ever seen? Does anyone have pics of any spectacularly huge tegus. In 2001 I the most massive red tegu at the Chicago Tinley Park show. It was huge! I wish I had taken a picture of it.

my male red is 48" and 25lbs. thats during hibernation, so he is actually skinny rght now lol. i think 10lbs is jowls i think he smuggles softballs on the side.

thanks. Can you post any pics of him?

finally, here is the 25lb crimson

"the reddest red who ever dared to be red" lol

NOTE: toe and tail damamge are from his first owner.

Wow! What a great animal! Thanks alot for the picture. He is gorgeous.

Mike, I have photos of that Tegu from Tinley Park somewhere. I'll see if I can find them. If I remember correctly he was a gorgeous cranberry red color. My daughter bought one of his offspring.

We took in a Red male last March that is a big boy. I've never measured him in length but we have weighed him and he tipped the scales at 23 pounds. He's a lovely animal and has been incorporated into our bevy of educational animals.

Hey thanks, that is a great pic. I would love to see a pic of that red tegu, as I've always wondered if it was as big as I thought it was or if it was my imagination : )
Good luck with that 23 pounder. That is awesome.
