Red Tegu (New pics)

[Little Wise Owl]

She's finally showing some activity (waking up from hibernation) and she's finally shed that nasty stuck skin on her tail.

Nice Tegus and that sweat shirt (hoodie) is awesome too.

[Lankyrob]

BEautiful lizard!

[Gungirl]

I was wondering how large these guys get once full grown? Is that last picture you holding an adult?

I think that's an adult. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they get mmuch bigger than the one in the last pic.

Thats my thought.. just wanted to double check. I have a lack of coffee so I fail at moments. lol

Thanks!! <3 Rush

Yes, that was an adult. They can get larger than that though. I believe she was female therefore smaller than what a male would be.

This is a massive adult male (red) courtesy of Google Images:

My tegu will probably be a bit smaller than the one I was holding when she's full grown, I believe. She's a bit small for her age.

[Gungirl]

wow that one is a fatty! thanks for the info

[Little Wise Owl]

Yeah, that guy could stand to lose a couple pounds. lol

It kind of bugs me that some tegu owners think that a fat tegu is a healthy tegu... I can only imagine the fat deposits in the poor animal's body.

[UwabamiReptiles]

Nice Tegu, I really like the color and pattern on yours.

[shaunyboy]

a very nice intricate pattern on the first one

the big female is my favorite

i did not realize how big they were until i saw it in your arms

its like a wee mini dinasaur,love the tounge flicking out

cheers shaun

[Little Wise Owl]

It was the first time I ever got to hold an adult. :)

[presspirate]

What an awesome looking animal! Thanks for the great Pics!

[Freebody]

Sweet looking tegu, red is rather rare where i live, i have never even seen one in person, Cant wait to see lots of photos to come :P

[Little Wise Owl]

Oh look! She's eating! Not exactly what I'd like her to eat but at least it's something.
