Soon to be tegu owner , HELP !

douchebagjeff Aug 08, 2011 08:25 PM

Well I want to do my homework as I always do before getting a new reptile , I have read a couple of care sheets about the tegus but I was hoping an owner can tell me the proper care for these beautiful reptiles

1. What's the difference between the different tegus ( I was looking at red and argentine B&W ) ?

2. What's best to feed the tegu ? ( from younging to adult )

3. Vitamins ! I never had to give my snakes any so I'm new to this please explain.

4. Housing ( from younging to adult )

5. Lighting , humidity , UVB ?

6. Any other information I should know and any tips I would really appreciate .

Thanks for the help guys
