I'll assume that's a typo. My largest tegu is probably only 7 or 8 pounds. I am not saying they don't get larger than mine, but holy hell.. 30lbs would be a beast!!

My older big male weighs in around 10.5 pounds - maybe 2 inches short of 4' - He's big and stout and pleasantly plump lol - I couldn't imagine even a 4.5 footer or better at 30 pounds to be even walking around on it's own _________________ 1.0.0 Ball Python "Albino"

It's all good. A 30lb tegu would be awesome if it was proportional.
The reptile rescue that me and some friends started got a sulcata tortoise surrendered. I was told it was 50lb and it did seem to be close. When it was weighed by the vet it was 35lb.
A 10lb tegu would still be impressive.
I need weigh mine, but I will guess (and as I told you, I am bad at that) my largest male is over 4 feet and weights 7 to 8 pounds.
