It didn't attach my signature.

1.0.0 savannah
0.1.2 leos
and hopefully a tegu and some het albino balls
Not sure what kind of Tegu I want to get and how big of a cage I would do. I want a tegu that has a simple diet. Not like so much fruit and so much whole prey. My favorite is a red tegu but since they need lots of fruit in their diet, I'm at a loss. Do any of the tegu eat only meats?

A meat only diet is really not good for any of them, however Colombians tend to be more carnivores...

thanks. Who knows. After seeing the video he posted on ball-pythons.net, I wouldn't mind getting a few. Anyone ever considered free roaming tegus and is there anyway to paper or box train them?

Jake,

Welcome to The Tegu Community @ www.thetegu.com

If you are referring to my "tegu-attention" video, I am glad you enjoyed it. I free roam mine inside and outside. I am at the local park with some of them at least 4 or 5 times a day. I let them roam, swim, play with the kids. When I am ready to leave I can call them back to me using a dog clicker. As far as litter box training, thats a pretty simple process too.

Rick

Would you mind talking me through this and giving me a few pointers? Also, how do you clicker train them? Yes, I was refereing to the tegu attention video. That was so funny watching them climb all over you. lol That song is still stuck in my head!!
