1. if i get a male and female hatchlings intending on breeding them are they able to be related?
2.at what age can they start producing
3. am i able to get one now and then get another adult of the opposite sex later or should they grow up together
4. is it true if i put 2 together i have to have another cage ready b/c they dont get along. if this is the case i might not be able to risk it because an 8x4 already takes up half my room.
5. if you are knowledgable on breedong then how easy is it to get rid of them and how long did it take.
thanks abunch in advance

No, they do not need to be related, this would be inbreeding.

Tegus start breeding at the age of three. I have heard of males breeding at the age of two, but I have not seen this in mine. I have seen them mock breed, however they did not breed.

You can buy one now and then another one later, this would not be a problem.

The only way this could be a problem is if you are feeding them or breeding. After the female is bred she will need to be housed separate from the male.

I have sold all of my tegus but two, someone backed out on the deal with them or they would have been gone as well. I had 115 hatchlings this year. Rick also sold out.
