It's very unlikely anyone had eggs hatch in April. That would mean the adults were breeding during the cold months which I have never heard of. More likely they are small tegus that are nearly a year old but probably they were not fed large meals and then they were hibernated for 5 or 6 months. Then the tegus would still be under 18 to 24 inches.

I spoke to Bert about that once, because last year, in march and April, i was already seeing hatchling B&Ws available. His answer to this was that they were imported. Breeding season is different down in Argentina. _________________ The Jay

Diegar is right. It is winter in South America when we are having summer. They are on the other side of the equator. I would be afraid of buying imports, due to the chance of them having parasites. I vet visit might be in order if you decide to buy a import. _________________ www.tegu.com and www.Varnyard-herps-inc.com
