Thank you. There is certainly a connection with him that I've never experienced with another reptile.

Thanks guys! I vary his diet but on average he eats 3 adult mice and fruit every day. He is lean so far, but if he starts picking up a gut i'll cut back. He is also occasionally fed salmon, ground turkey etc.
He is certainly an interesting animal. Some days when I open his enclosure, he'll come jumping on me or trying to crawl up my leg.
He does have his cranky days though, but is never aggressive.

Re: Chacoan Extreme Tegu
Beautiful animal. From the sounds of what he eats, it's got to be like trying to keep a teenager fed.

Yeah it's quite a lot, but on the flip side he goes down 6-7 months of the year without eating so it balances out. (although not all brumate)

They're awesome! I would have loved a red, but I really wanted a male, and the breeder I bought him from only had a female red left. It really doesn't make much of a difference, but maybe one day I'll get a red if I have the space, time, and money!

Re: Chacoan Extreme Tegu
In the reading I've done a lot of people say their Tegu won't defecate in its enclosure rather it waits to be taken out each day or placed in the bath. This sounds very interesting that some prefer to be 'clean' and I was wondering if yours has any funny habits with regards to that or anything else? Also just out of curiosity how long did it take you to build your trusting relationship to where he will seek out your attention?
Thanks,
Brett
