I must disagree. They are thought to be closer to the argentine tegus, not the colombians. They look NOTHING like the colombian tegus and can be very similar to the argentines. As far as point of orgin there is a post somewhere so photo's of wild animals eatting rattle snakes and such. I would have to look for the post but I'm pretty sure it's just north of brazil. If the red wood you are using is the same stuff as the red cypress mulch that can be purchased from home depot/lowes I'd get rid of it asap. If not I'm not sure what it is. 6month of age and a hopper mouse a day seems a little off to me. I'd highly suggest using other food items mixed in. Just ensure the tegu has little to no folds on it's sides and it's weight should be right around where it should be. Good luck with the little guy!
