Argentine Black & White Tegu

Description

The Argentine Black and White tegu is the most popular tegu species for good reason — they are intelligent, handleable, and bond strongly with their owners. This captive-bred juvenile shows clean black and white banding that will develop into the bold adult pattern. Tegus are omnivorous, eating a varied diet of whole prey, eggs, fruits, and ground turkey. They can reach 4-5 feet and require a large enclosure (8×4 minimum for adults).
