I finally bought a baby tegu. Currently setup in a 2ftx1feet aquarium, I use wet towel on the screen to keep in humidity. Basically the environment is similar to my sav's, in regards to humidity(85%+), basking temp(140f), gradients, etc... except the sav is in 1 8x4 cage. I'll be building the exact enclosure that my sav is in now for this tegu in a week. I'll be feeding the same diet as well, whole prey(mice,fish,anything I can get), also fruits and veggies when it's older since tegus do eat those.
Does anyone have any feedback, warnings, tips? I have been scouring the net for info for a long time and I find the tegu community has very different kinds of advises compared to varanids. Not sure what my point is, but I'm seeking knowledge, and so far from what I gather, my best bet is to keep the tegu in the same environment as my sav's, which is the knowledge I have gotten from this forum. Only difference would be the tegu's diet would have more fruits and veggies, otherwise all the same. So if anyone has any advise, warnings, etc, please don't be afraid to be frank.
