Does selective breeding make a difference? You tell me, I try to breed for color, size and disposition. I must say the hard work has paid off, all tegus are not alike. Breeding tegus to get tegus is one thing, but breeding selectively is another story. Here are some of my babies produced this season and last season. Note the pattern between the scales is all green: This is normal to have the black markings between the scales: Here are more with reduced bands on the neck and heads: Here are some yearlings produced last year: So I would need to say, yes it does matter. This is the rewards!! Back to top dorton Member Joined: May 14, 2007 Posts: 25 Location: Winston Salem,NC Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2007 7:38 pm    Post subject: Thumbs up!

Your pics demonstrate this clearly. I have been grabbing up colorful ones for a few years now for this very reason. It is worth the longer wait just for awesome bloodlines. Your collection is top notch. It is about quality not quantity. Best Regards Jeff Planet Reptiles Back to top m432 Valued Member Joined: Sep 13, 2006 Posts: 107 Location: Binghamton, NY US. Earth.

They look great, and from everything I read from you and from others, you are a very talented person. Not to mention that the tegus are lucky Back to top VARNYARD Banned Joined: May 16, 2005 Posts: 1164 Location: panamacity florida Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2007 9:00 pm    Post subject: Thanks guys!!

Is the tegu in the first pic a Chacoan or an Argentine? I would guess chacoan. _________________ Animals: Too many.
