Female Blue Tegu CB20

Tegus are known for their intelligence and can even be trained to recognize their owners. With proper care and handling, tegus can make fascinating and rewarding pets for those willing to put in the effort.

Tegus are known for their gentle nature and are often described as curious and intelligent. They can become very tame with regular handling and interaction, making them popular as pets among reptile enthusiasts.

Adult tegus can grow to be quite large, with some reaching lengths of over four feet and weighing up to 15 pounds. It is crucial for owners to provide adequate space and a proper diet to ensure the physical and mental well-being of their tegu.

Tegus require a spacious enclosure with plenty of hiding spots and basking areas. A mix of substrate, such as soil and mulch, can help mimic their natural habitat and promote burrowing behavior. It is also important to provide UVB lighting and maintain proper humidity levels for their overall health.

They are omnivores, so their diet should consist of a variety of protein sources like insects, rodents, and even fruits and vegetables. It is important to monitor their food intake to prevent obesity and ensure they are receiving the proper nutrients for their growth and development.
