Housing and Caring For Your Tegu
Over the years I have collected information from many
sources and have tried many things. This is what we do for
our Tegus.
That doesn’t mean others are wrong, it means
this is what works for us at Tegu Topia. And hey, everyone can always learn something new! Thank you to Johnny LaRocca and Bert
Langerwerf for their invaluable additions to my knowledge.
Tegu Care 101
Taking care of a Tegu is pretty basic, however, with a large lizard comes much larger housing!
Tegus eat a wide range of food, all of which you can find at your local grocery store (except for rodents, of course). But you can also opt out of feeding any rodents to your Tegu.
We address a Tegu’s needs within this section of our site. If you can’t provide these basic needs to a very intelligent, large lizard with a long lifespan, then a Tegu is not for you!
We have divided this section into the following:
• General Info
• Supplies • Indoor Housing
• Lights • Temperatures • Humidity • Feeding
• Hibernation
• Cautions • Outdoor Housing
• Building Indoor Enclosures • Care Sheets
Feel free to click on the many icons above to read up on the various information.
