Hey Clint, I love the show, and hope you guys keep up what you’ve been doing. I was just wondering if you’d be able to mention the difference(s) between “farm bred,” and captive bred, and your opinion on both. I know wild caught vs captive bred is important to you, as it is for me as well, but a lot of the monitors I’ve been finding on local suppliers lists are wild or “farm bred”

I have had my Argentine B&W Tegu roughly 14 years. Everything in this video is confirmed by my observations. There is very aggressive adolescent stage, they do not like to be held, they do accept petting and rubbing and will stay in your lap. For about 15 seconds lol. My tegu is in a 3' x 6' enclosure although I do let him wander around my office after he poops. I let him out after he defecates because otherwise he will defecate as soon as he gets out. Oreo does not want to soil his own home. I use a big plastic storage tub filled with coconut bark, with the top on, as a hide box and I keep the bark pretty moist. I cut a hole in the box up about 6" on the side so he can climb in and out. Bert Langerwerf's breeding facility was where he came from originally, as a hatchling. Bert Langerwerf wrote the book (literally) on B&W Tegus. Unfortunately, Bert passed a number of years ago and I don't know much about where to get a good captive-bred tegu. My experience with wild-caught Savannah monitors has not been good. FWIW. B&W Tegus are wonderful pets but plan on them being around as long as a well taken care of housecat if you do as the video suggests. BTW, our cat was very interested in Oreo. Oreo could care less. Cats seem too big to eat, to small to worry about. In myexperience, lizards classify the world into three things: food, foe, and furniture.

Something he didnt mention in this video: Tegus are quite intelligent. They like to explore and interact with stuff and love to be interacted with. They dont just sit there like a bump on a log and do nothing but eat, drink and poop like say a bearded dragon would. Tegus and certain Monitors are almost problem solving smart which makes them really wonderful pets for those who can care for them properly. Dont keep them cooped up in their enclosure all day every day (thats mean), let them out to explore and pet them, they really do enjoy it, and you can really tell that they do.

@jimkimball4288 Год назад

I got a Tegu at a reptile convention last year. I was really surprised at how intelligent she is: they can tell whether or not you are trying to harm her not not, and don’t get crazily defensive. Sometimes when I startle her when she is asleep, she will try to tail whip me but then stops as soon she recognizes me. And she never bites! She does need a huge enclosure and lots of heating of course…

They might even stage another fake presidential assassination. Can you imagine if they stage an assassination of a beloved sports idol on national TV ? Who is the most popular sports idol on TV right now ? He makes the crowd roar when he makes birdies & eagles. He allegedly won the US Open years ago with 2 stress fractures & a torn ACL which is BS to inflate his legendary status. Now the current version of Tiger is really warming up to the crowds putting himself out there in the line of fire. Recently Tiger's Caddie had to get a heckler removed from the golf course but for some reason there's no picture of the heckler except one photo of Tiger's caddie trying to pay him to leave. The heckler's face is blotted out ? I would think this guys face would be plastered in the news so he would easily be spotted if he follows Tiger again ? Whatever happens it's all scripted by the NWO powers that be !

@teammythos264 5 лет назад

I have had a tegu for about 6 years now. Some of the problems you mentioned aren't much of a problem for me and might not be. She loves being held and sometimes walks right up to us wanting to get picked up. Tegus have very distinct and unique personalities and not all will be like this, but if you want to train them to be held, definitely get a strong grip on them and hold at both sets of legs and prepare to get scratched by the tegu trying to climb around on you. As for the enclosure, this may be unique to us, but the people we got her from actually rescued her from an abusive life. She was held in too small of a tank to where she could hardly move and her tail grew bent because of it. This has led to trauma for her so if she if put in an enclosure at all, she will hurt herself trying to get out. We solved this by letting her roam around like our cats, and they get along very well. We do have to clean up her poop all around the house, but you would need to anyway in an enclosure. When it comes to relationships with other pets, she never attacks our cats, we just recently got a kitten and the kitten loves her. The kitten will play with her, making playful swipes, and yes it is playful the scratches would be much different if it wasn't, and my tegu just sits there not caring, occasionally pushing her gently with her tail if the kitten tries to bite it. Tegus are amazing, definitely think before you get one, but if you know what you're doing, getting one will be one of the best decisions of your life.

When I get my own house with space I plan on getting a tegu. I usually don't like lizards and have a lot of experience with snakes, but I will come over to the other side for a tegu. Even though their enclosure is gigantic, the idea of having it is so exciting to admire.

@user-ot6on7tq9k 6 лет назад

I think tegu is a really beutiful reptile, too. I'm Korean, and I really want to visit America some day to see a variety of reptile breathers! (Maybe I am not good at English, so I may say wrong things.....)

It's interesting to see the different personalities of various Tegus across RU-vid. Ed and Emily's sweet Ally seems to love being handled. She's such a puppy lizard! Gus Gus is adorable!

@lifeaschronicallyingrid 2 года назад

We watched this video and did extensive research on B&W Argentine Tegus and we finally got our own. Gus Gus seems like an angel compared to ours, but our tegu is going through puberty right now. They are incredible creatures. We got ours as a baby and it’s so interesting to see how quickly they grow!

@yamiryushi 3 года назад

Since Emily and Ed got Ally over at Snake Discovery I have fallen head over heels in love with these guys. This video of your's Clint just solidified this has become my dream lizard. I don't know if I could ever have it, especially since I never had a pet lizard at all and I'd like to start with something easier like a beardy first. But if I could, this is definitely the one for me. He is just so sweet!

@trishatraylor29 2 года назад

I am so happy to have found your videos! I acquired an Argentine tegu yesterday. She had been roaming free in a neighborhood for well over a month. I live in my Ohio, so she wouldn’t have done well come winter. I’m slowly getting her enclosure together, and I am binge watching your videos! Since she’d been living wild I am a bit frightened of her biting me. But hoping she and I can build a nice relationship!

@writeshorror 5 лет назад

This lovely presentation is how I convinced my sweetheart, who was of the "let's START with a really big reptile!!!" school, that we should look at something a bit more beginner-sized. Not because Gus-Gus isn't 100% adorable, but because we need to be realistic about the size, strength and needs of the animal and whether we can handle them. Realistically, that's a no right now, but gosh Tegus are lovely. That said, the look of dawning horror on my sweetie's face when he learned that Tegus can GET UP AND RUN ON THEIR HIND LEGS was absolutely. Freaking. Priceless.

I have a 2 year old right now named Sephiroth. He is going through the "terrible twos" as they say. Thats ok though, I try and do whatevers right by him. Had him since he was a baby, and its been an interesting journey. If you are interested in getting one, be prepared. Make sure on top of your research that you have a vet in the area who specializes in reptiles, and preferably a retailer who can provide pinky mice and other specialized foods. Future housing must be thought out of course.

There are some lizards that make for objectively shitty pets, but in general, the best lizard to own is the one you gain the most from owning. Just do plenty of research before and during owning any reptile; the research never stops while being a herp owner.

@teresatanasi5143 6 лет назад

I rewatched your video:) Clint, I raise fancy poultry. Rare poultry. It is so ironic to see the similarities between reptiles and birds:) My parrots and my poultry,turkey,ducks,geese, etc. are sooo much like reptiles:) Birds can see ultraviolet light,as well,as I am sure your know,they are wild when they see you for the first time in outdoor light. I got the idea to keep my tegu outdoors as I do natural settings for everyone. Humidity will be an issue of course,as it is dry here. Escape is something I am good at preventing.I build my own and have 3 barriers for each enclosure. I just think the space I could give my tegu outdoors would be so much more plentiful than indoors. Again thanks so much. I am a senior lady and have wanted a tegu for 12 years. I retired so now I think it is time:)
