Also if you could tell me what a baby eats per day and the cost per month.. That is kind of a hard question to answer as different people feed their Tegus different diets, and some breed their own food - But I will give a guesstimate and I do not breed food... My Argentine at 10 weeks old and at last measurement around 20 inches has lost interest in insects and is mainly eating mice, turkey, occaisional banana and eggs - I usually feed a mouse every other day and am paying a buck a piece per mouse, so around $15 bucks per month in mice - 93% Turkey at $7 bucks per 1.25 pounds here usually last a month for both my Tegus - so maybe $3.50 per month in Turkey - fruit and eggs, maybe another $5 bucks per month - So maybe around $25 bucks per month to feed a 10 week old Argentine, and the way he is growing I would most certainly expect the cost to keep rising ... _________________ 1.0.0 Ball Python "Albino" 1.1.0 Ball Python 100% "Het Albino" 1.2.0 Ball Python "Pastel" 1.0.0 Ball Python "Cinnamon Pastel" 1.0.0 Ball Python "Spider" 0.2.0 Ball Python "Normal" Back to top charlene Honored Member Joined: Dec 11, 2004 Posts: 216 Location: BC, Canada Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2005 5:09 pm    Post subject: My tegu is about 3 feet long and it costs me out $50 a month to keep him full.

I havent gotten a tegu yet..Im still counting up the costs to see if I can afford it along with all the extra stuff like enclosures, heating etc... Thanks I will base my costs on Edges tegu diet...
