Below are a few books that I personally recommend to any Tegu keeper. You can go to your local library, if they don't have them there you can have them shipped in from your local state library, normally for free. You can also choose to order these books from Amazon just by clicking on them. 01: Monitors, Tegus, and Related Lizards 02: General Care and Maintenance of Popular Monitors & Tegus 03: Understanding Reptile Parasites 04: Terrarium and Cage Construction and Care 05: Practical Guide for Feeding Captive Reptiles 06: Designer Reptiles and Amphinians 07: Lizard Care, From A to Z 08: Lizards, Complete Pet Owner's Manual 09: The Lizard Keeper's Handbook 10: Reptiles & Amphibians for Dummies Is there a book you would like to recommend? Let me know. Posted by Rick on Thursday, November 11 @ 01:54:45 EST (1483 reads) (Read More... | Score: 5)  Tegu Species, Latin Names There are seven recognized species of Tupinambis (tegu). Here are the scientific/latin names for each. Tupinambis merianae Tupinambis teguixin Tupinambis rufescens Tupinambis quadrilineatus Tupinambis palustris Tupinambis duseni Tupinambis longilineus The common names of these tegu are varied, there is no governing body in charge of assigning common names so one species can often have several common names. This causes a bit of confusion, but for some facts read THIS. ------------------------- Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Reptilia, Order: Squamata, Family: Teiidae, Genus: Tupinambis Posted by Rick on Thursday, November 11 @ 01:32:48 EST (2577 reads) (Read More... | Score: 2.66)      Browse Better Download supports TheTegu.com      Survey How tame is your Argentine Black & White, Red or Blue Tegu?
