sav vs tegu feeding behavior

[formica]

at a rough guess...using the silicone edge as a guide, approx 8-10mm thickness of a standard glass tank, i'd say his body is 5-6inches, add another 10 for his tail - its easy to underestimate a tail tength when it is thin, perhaps this is why

15-16 inches total length

I'd estimate a growth of 8-9inches in a month for your Tegu (maybe 7-8 coz I think ur marks are slightly off)

1 month and 6 days = 5.5 weeks

so thats about 1.5-1.75 inches per week


my Sav grew close to 1inch a week during 2 of his early growth spurts, so even still, its a massive growth rate!

ok come to think of it, his tail was always 2x the length of his body, so if he were 6 inches that would make his body 2 inches and that's not possible.

ok I'm an idiot lol. But I still stand by my criticism about the overall attitude of some people here. But yes I admit I'm an idiot... I must have been measuing the body and just had it set in my mind that that's his whole length.
