OMG!!!! This is my tegu Goliath 3 weeks ago at 33 inches...... This is him today at 40 inches March 27..... Could this be from taking him out his cage and letting him bask by the window everyday? Recieving Natural amounts of UVB? To me this is very scary how fast he is growing! _________________ " Never let them get to your pride, give them hell to the day you demise" -The Capo Back to top reptilefreak Honored Member Joined: Feb 28, 2007 Posts: 196 Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 5:40 pm    Post subject: Nice pics! The glass from the window would filter out any UV so doubt it's that. _________________ 1.1.0 Bearded Dragons (Damien and Miss Priss) 0.1.0 Crested Geckos (Priscilla) 2.6.0 Leopard Gecko (Tonka, Rhaco, Hermine, Talia, Kalypso, Serendipity, Faith, and Sprinkles) 0.0.1 Henkeli Leaf Tail (Houdini) 0.1.0 Chacoan Black and White Tegu on her w Back to top Jimjones Honored Member Joined: Sep 15, 2006 Posts: 214 Location: NYC Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 5:49 pm    Post subject: So then this growth rate must be normal? _________________ " Never let them get to your pride, give them hell to the day you demise" -The Capo Back to top tristan Member Joined: Aug 26, 2005 Posts: 68 Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 6:18 pm    Post subject: what kind of steroids are you feeding him? LOL i don't know how to explain the rapid growth but i definately agree that it's not from basking inside. but it's a good sign nonetheless! what's his snout to vent length? my male is about 40" but he's missing about 4-5 inches of his tail. i'll get a measurement of his SVL. i just want a good idea of how long he should be if he had his whole tail. keep up the good work! your tegu looks well taken care of. -tristan Last edited by tristan on Tue Mar 27, 2007 6:24 pm, edited 1 time in total Back to top reptilefreak Honored Member Joined: Feb 28, 2007 Posts: 196 Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 6:19 pm    Post subject: Guess so!

I got him from this reptile expo, in whiteplains new york. The man who sold him to me said that the tegu was born in alabama. So for some reason I believe he actually is from the agama international stock! _________________ " Never let them get to your pride, give them hell to the day you demise" -The Capo Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         theTegu.com Forum Index -> Show & Tell (Picture Forum) All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1 Translate to English using Google Language Tools:   Jump to: Select a forum General Site Forums----------------Site NewsWelcomeFun & GamesSuggestion BoxBusiness Ratings & ReviewsMembers LoungeHelpful Information Tegu Forums----------------Normal DiscussionGeneral CareHealth IssuesTegu HousingClassifiedsBreeding & GeneticsShow & Tell (Picture Forum)Lights!
