A brief snippet about Tegu

A brief introduction to the species will be inserted here ..... coming soon! In the interim we have a number of links on the species, listed on this page.

	Natural Habitat
		Red Tegu (Tupinambis rufescens) Red tegu lizards are native to Argentina. Measuring up to 4 feet in length they are the largest of all the tegus. Adults weigh an average of 20 pounds. Their skin is light reddish brown with dark cross bands.

	Captive Care
		Argentinian Black and White Tegus - exoticpets.com Argentinian black and white tegus are sometime simply called black and white tegus, although this can lead to confusion as there is also a Columbian black and white tegu (the Columbian is similar but smaller and less docile).
		Do tegu lizards seek human attention? - SiscoReptiles.com I have raised tegus for years. I do not treat my tegus like reptiles are typically treated. I treat them like I would any other pet. I always have tegus running around, crawling onto my lap or my shoulders. I have tegus with me when I go on rides into town.
		Keeping and Breeding the Argentine Black and White Tegus Animal Allsorts By Bert Langerwerf of AGAMA The differences discussed below apply to Argentine Black & White tegus and all Columbian tegus. Thus with "Columbian tegu" I mean any tegu coming from Columbia, and with "Argentine tegu" I mean the Argentine Black & White tegu.
