Large Black and White Argentine Tegu

[@seanb7327]

I have a bearded dragon currently. I'm getting a tegu when I'm more experienced. maybe I'll get a ball python for my second reptile.

[@zooburbia7866]

sean b I got bearded dragons and then ball python and I'm looking into a tegu aswell.

[@shyannemccoy1282]

I have a berdie, I was actually debating if I should do the same I also want an arachnid but my Mom's afraid of them

[@zonester_exe9142]

My first ball python then a beardie and a boa then I will move on to a blue tongue after that an ackie monitor then a red foot tortoise a lepoard gecko after that a tegu then a Burmese Python after that a corn snake then a Mexican black king snake or I'll change my mind for some other list

[@tonymontanak4866]

Tegues need a minimum of a 8 foot by 4 foot by 4 foot cage as a sub adult,adult so unless you have a whole extra room in your house I would reconsider I have one and just be carful cuz they can be fiesty (there no berdie lol)they can also easily rip off your finger, especially if they death roll,more like a alligator than a lizard lol great. Lizzards tho ;)

[@DustyCowdog]

Real cute. The lizard's cool, too.

[@mattstratton2255]

DustyCowdog Smooth

[@elizl2802]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@TheJLAMAR23]

I dont know what I’m digging more.. the lizard or the girl 🔥 🔥🔥

[@bogtrotterErin]

Thank you.

[@YManCyberDude]

This was a very well done video.

[@alexcontreras6103]

We live in San Diego though I think it's warmer than many parts of Argentina we are more in the lines of southern Brazil and south Africa

[@jacobopstad5483]

I think I have a wild tegu in my backyard! It's pretty big and has black and silvery green stripes all the way down its back.

[@jarendiakis1032]

Hey miss my tegu I bought him last yr in the middle of September and he was 12" nd now he's 3 ft should I start target training or wait a little longer

[@pizzasauras9274]

Their adorable!!!

[@Selousscout]

I live in south Florida and I've done a lotta research and the climate here is perfect for them even down to the humidity level can I really not house him in my yard when he's grown?

[@devonearles6216]

can they run around if you live in the florida keys

[@CJ_725]

I have a leopard gecko after I got a anole witch I thought was for beginners but wasn’t and I had it for only almost a year I still have my leopard gecko and will soon get either get a blue tongue skink or a blue or black and white Argentine tegu

[@NeroNORirl]

Fantastic animal. Would love to keep one as a pet

[@tapatiogomez7865]

Both beautiful creatures 😂

[@metalpvp301]

Did I just hear some Michael Jackson in the background...Haha😹😹😹😹😹

[@A7iM95]

how old is the one that you're holding in this video?

[@civic30045]

What’s the proper temperature for night time ?

[@koyesahmed4040]

Hi I was just wondering do you ship to the UK

[@maxseed601]

make a baby Tegu setup video!? that would be sick!

[@nicholascestone7484]

Are there any foods that should not be fed to a tegu?

[@songbirdrebel5895]

How can you tell what gender your tegu and at what age?

[@TheFerretboy123]

Please do a video for your chahoua geckos I love them

[@tacodilegaming]

What sized cage can i use

[@shopekuax2067]

what is better for my next step? a savannah monitor or this type if tegu ?

[@yarus5889]

Angel Hernandez A tegu. They're smaller, better temperament, and they don't need a strict (as) diet as monitors. If you want something even smaller I'd recommend an ackie monitor.

[@seancoghlan6527]

well i think im ready i have a bearded dragon and even though its not a reptile i have a yellow spotted salamander i am almost positive i can handle one i have a 6'x3'x4' cage now i just need to get the supplies

[@BrutalExoticsTV]

Haha that's not much experience but I'm sure you can handle a tegu if you know what your doing. Just takes some research. Did you get one yet?

[@seancoghlan6527]

No I didn't

[@Glenn056]

BDs are reptiles man

[@dilophoraptordouble]

He ment the salamander not the bearded

[@sammiebob5958]

Where do you guys get the display cases for your pet store? that is exactly what I am looking for.

[@LLLReptile1]

We carry them on our website :) They're called Vision Cages.

[@jacksparkes363]

I'm looking to get a tegu but I am only 13. I had a bearded dragon and King snake but have always looked at this for the future. I want to know what the minimum cage size is as the biggest I can get is 6-7 ft X 2ft X 2ft is this going to big enough? Also are they hard to keep and are they expensive as I won't be the one buying food my parents will. Thanks

[@heydiahrea]

i feel like you could pull off a 7 foot cage but 8 feet is prime and 2 feet is kind of narrow bigger is better with big lizards

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

from the reserch ive done. 8x3x3 is the smallest you would want to go for a cage. and they are pretty expensive to feed, the need alot of insects and fruit and veggies at first. then when a bit older they need lots of chicken, rats, chicks, and again fruits and veggies through out the weeks.

[@heydiahrea]

+deathwolf743 I feel like argentines average around 4 feet, 5 feet is a pretty large individual but I guess you do have to plan just in case it does get that large.

[@ethanhughes75]

Start a baby off in a 20 gallon long tank. That will give you time to build it’s permanent cage. 8x4x3 is the minimum for an adult. Bigger is better tho

[@ethanhughes75]

Also males get about a foot bigger than females

[@paulelguera1484]

Do you have any more baby tegu

[@danalvarez353]

I have a argentine tegu and today I noticed that the front foot pushed back and the hind legs are shaking that can i do

[@eltonsmor]

Sounds like onset of mbd. Up Ur Uv and Ur calcium- non d3!

[@danalvarez353]

had already solved only give more calcium and fruit and thanks for caring

[@jazminerivera5682]

what do I charge for the tegus

[@pythonman8103]

Ima get one

[@christianmaulsby5794]

What size should the enclosure be for an adult

[@LLLReptile1]

6 x 3 x 3 would be minimum.

[@Tom-bw5hd]

How old is he

[@logandavis3589]

Are Tegus legal to keep in California without a license?

[@feral6512]

obviously

[@johnhilde84]

How big to Argentine Tegus get? Are they a bigger species then the Columbian Tegu? Thanks!

[@LLLReptile1]

They can get up to 4 feet long. They are larger than the Columbian tegus, yes.

[@leandroalves8251]

Essa espécie é do Brasil com essas duas cores preto com branco

[@andersonwang2417]

yeah how much is a tegu?

[@andersonwang2417]

thank you

[@snacksgaming8355]

260 to 300

[@BM-jk7uz]

My tegu realy realy agresif.. how can i handle with my hand.. can you help me..

[@phantomgaming2051]

B M Hey BM If you really want tegu Tips search Clint's Reptiles on KZbin he has a care video and will gladly answer your questions. I am a monitor and Australian reptile owner so tegus aren't my strong suit. :)

[@FranzAllanSee]

LLLReptile is in CA and you guys dont have winter right? Do your tegus hibernate? And if they do, around when? Also, i heard that female tegus that skip a hibernation period becomes infertile. How true is that? Thanks!

[@HungryAsHellfather]

still winters here lol

[@LLLReptile1]

+Franz Allan See It still cools down enough here to push things like tegus into hibernation if kept outside. We are in the San Diego area, so we are warmer than most of California, but still much cooler here than say southern Florida.

[@FranzAllanSee]

+LLLReptile and Supply Co, Inc. Is it true that female become infertile when they skip a hibernation?

[@aspurr20]

mine loves fish more then turkey

[@bonethroat7794]

is there any lizards that are docile and can form a relationship with its owner that dont get so big? like around 12 inches adult?

[@Fem4l]

Bearded dragons are known as the dogs of reptiles. They can be easily tamed and don't mind just chilling on your chest while you watch a movie

[@goatsaregreen5880]

A blue tounge skink

[@anthonymontenegro6348]

would this be a good starting monitor\tegu ? i have kept bearded dragons and a leopard gecko .

[@LLLReptile1]

They're a big step up from beardies and leopard geckos, but if you do a lot of research and prepare well for them, they're not too bad.

[@eltonsmor]

Anthony Montenegro a starting tegu? as opposed to?

[@straightwhitemale2728]

@@eltonsmor Lmao

[@_joseo_]

Which is the most docile of the Tegu species? Also which gets the biggest?

[@LLLReptile1]

Jose Fuentes Argentine are usually the most docile, Chacoans are some of the largest. both are in stock right now on our website

[@christiandeweese587]

Jose Fuentes get a chacoan from lll reptile at a expo i got one and it was about 13 inches and almost a month later its 19 inches but u need a huuuuuge cage unless u can block off every little crack and crevace and it can rome your room or house or whatever

[@a_pufferfish9842]

Also, If you ever want to see a professional Tegu owner and get a few tips go to MacGyver The Lizard's Channel.

[@justanotherotaku1]

What sort of a size (in feet) would you recommend for an adult Argentine vivarium/enclosure?

[@LLLReptile1]

As large as possible. You can house them short term in 6 foot enclosures, but they do much better when provided with more space.

[@justanotherotaku1]

***** Would, say, a 10ft long by 5ft wide enclosure be adequate?

[@eltonsmor]

hazam haudack these are intelligent active animals! I can guarantee u ull have issues if u keep 4 in that space......

[@LLLReptile1]

eltonsmor Yeah. You can't keep 4 adult tegus in that space. 1, maybe a pair would be ok. Definitely not 4

[@eltonsmor]

***** I have 2- a rescue and one I got as a baby. They have their cage plus they have access to the entire flat- and they USE it! I get so frustrated when ppl want to keep them in cramped conditions- intelligent, curios animals who love to explore, sitting in a tiny box all their lives, its just not fair!

[@meowpurrr]

What size cage

[@joshuapowers5590]

8x4x4 is preferred. 6x3x3 minimal. Adults get large.

[@xavinxavier6972]

I watch the videos for you. You are gorgeous~

[@keithbridges2144]

She's average bud but has a very nice demeanor. Watch for the animals and the education, not because you're horny.

[@melanymartinez5319]

We're a city are you guys in

[@LLLReptile1]

We have stores in San Diego, South East LA county and Las Vegas

[@harrypinhorne5293]

how big would it be full grown

[@LLLReptile1]

4 feet ish.

[@The_Superpack]

Thirty to forty pounds!

[@MineAgator]

Would I be ready for one of then I have a bearded dragon

[@Dankchknnugs]

No, they get gigantic and have huge demands. giant cage, lots and lots of food. their full grown cage should be at least 2'x4'x6' (HxWxL).

[@colinringle5369]

gscott1100 just to let you know, a full grown argentine b&w tegu can grow to be 4 feet long with this being said they need at least 8x4x3 (LxWxH) I just built an enclosure for a friend of mine who owns one and he is already talking about adding 2 more feet on to the length of it.

[@dpelayo27]

Holded

[@michaelvos8959]

what if you live in Florida

[@AbolishYTHandles]

Yeah

[@johnhudson1324]

Ha I live in Florida

[@cadenjones6361]

How much do they usually cost

[@edsoncuevas8570]

I bought mine for $240. Pretty hard to find them under $200

[@edsoncuevas8570]

Nice, which expo? Hopefully I can find a black throat monitor for like $200 or less

[@kylerivard681]

+brian wang I got mine for $100! plus a large cage(not big enough for an adult though). he is so tame! I just got lucky...

[@16nickfines]

+brian wang that's what I paid for mine, she was 2 months old

[@ramadanjudah8130]

how old are they

[@LLLReptile1]

More than 6 months, less than a year.

[@pmd7771969]

That's a good lizard. Bloodviking

[@LanceKirkman]

[@timberart286]

I wish I could get one but my parents would never let me I guess I will in collage!

[@tazcalifornia]

Where can I buy one??😭

[@tazcalifornia]

And btw, she has my dream job 😍

[@LLLReptile1]

Babies are in stock now on our website. www.LLLReptile.com

[@aspurr20]

mine loves fish over anything I've feed her

[@linodinardo4798]

Tegu was my first reptile... LOL its not that much of a big deal. just be prepared to change the aquarium

[@georgeurieta6990]

Uv or uvb

[@Concreetinit]

George Urieta UVI and UVB

[@arenadabola5502]

The argentine is the red one, thats the brazilian one

[@danielgomes-ur3rm]

Would dis animal be the type of lizard that can sit with u on da couch

[@progenx1200]

yes it would be if you tame it correctly

[@MaxW-MW101099]

Mine has tried to bite my face more then once.

[@daniel6king]

i have a savannah monitor and i want a tegu, would a monitor and a tegu get along

[@LLLReptile1]

Daniel X. Balchowsky It's best to keep them separate.

[@daniel6king]

ok thanks, mine live in different cages but the have bath time together and get along, but prob won't in a cage

[@snakewhisperer2010]

Daniel X. Balchowsky please visit savannahmonitor . net

[@jaydenevans3326]

I'm seven years old and I got five reptiles so do you think I'm ready for this

[@Rosify]

Jayden Evans No, you're too young to keep an animal that grows to the size an adult tegu grows to. Stick to bearded dragons and geckos.

[@oreussriley505]

you're not even old enough to be on KZbin

[@clorbach2450]

Get off of KZbin buddy

[@aliyahlove6186]

Jayden Evans this all really does depend on how responsible you are what type of reptiles do you have

[@straightwhitemale2728]

That is a small tegu.

[@mattblake9936]

oh thats a baby

[@brynndwenger8084]

how much do tegu's cost?

[@tazcalifornia]

Brynn Dwenger between $150-$300 depending on the seller

[@benbryant6525]

Argentine tegu

[@Urrizagus]

here in argentina there are ilegal to having like pets

[@DeborahRaneyMountain]

Agustin Urriza why?

[@Urrizagus]

Deborah Raney Mountain i dont know, but i know that is ilegal to have like pets

[@MissMickey00]

It's probably because they are native to where you live. Here in Canada, we are not allowed to keep any animals that are native to our area. :) hope this helped

[@Urrizagus]

yes yes thats is the reason

[@tommyma09]

Think a vegan tegu could thrive?

[@tommyma09]

+deathwolf743 yea yea. I was just messing around. But I might get a tegu in the future, and I will feed it animals even though I am a vegan. I will just get the meat from small farms that treat the animal "ethically" in a way even though there isn't such thing as ethical meat. I wouldn't do that since there's not much research on them on plant based diets like there are with dogs. So I'm going on the safe road :)

[@tommyma09]

+deathwolf743 and even if the tegu was vegan, it wouldn't only eat fruits. It would probably be similar to a vegan dog diet except more protein concentration along with some mysterious minerals.

[@tommyma09]

+deathwolf743 yea, definetly. I would never feed a live animal anyways. Just not able to watch it, and it could die much faster in other ways. And also, thanks for the tips. I appreciate it.

[@Concreetinit]

Tommy Ma use BARF menu it's actually for dogs but tegus LOVE it
