    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Well, its getting closer for tegu's to stop brumating. I am looking for a high white male argentine tegu or blue tegu. Captive born and raised. Not looking for giant tegu's. so if you have one or know of one out there for sale. Please feel free to PM me with a quote for the animal and shipping to a zip code of 37055.

Open to females too, but rather have a male.

Thanks,
Ed
 
Thought of that, but I don't want a Chocan (spelled wrong) tegu other wise known as giant tegu's. Just a nice high white black and white is what I am looking for.

Something will pop up I am sure.

if you find someone that has many could you let me know? I'm also interested in a blue.
 
Well, Bobby may have some very nice high whites coming this season. (not Chacoan-though he has those as well) While I would say that's your best bet for selection and quality, they do change a LOT as they grow and what started off as a primarily white tegu could turn darker, normal-ish or even whiter. There's no way to be certain of the outcome of your little tegu when it's fully grown, unfortunately.
That said, Varnyard is the best bet for what you're looking for as he breeds for temperament, size and color.(and he's taking deposits now!) There are none available as of yet, so you'd have to wait. UNLESS you get REALLY lucky and find someone tired of their animal.
Good luck to ya!:thumbsup:

I am most easily reached by direct email contact, [email protected]

There also is a male in the same cage, about the same size, with more white than usual.

He does not want to sell right now. He would not give me a price, seems he is waiting on a bidding war for highest price. Would. Have been polite not to have posted it to me if he didn't want to sell it, IMO
 
yeaa...I emailed him and he said the highest bid so far is 1000, I was like thanks but no thanks! lol
 
$1000.00 would not be unreasonable at all for that tegu. It's drop dead gorgeous, and not a hatchling.
Sad to say, I'm near full up here, and short of cash.
DaveDragons sometimes has blues(on thetegu) and GotTegus01 I believe has arg B&W, reds, and maybe blues(on reptilegeeks).
Good luck finding a great tegu for you!
 
oh no I deffinatly know its not unreasonable. She's deffinatly worth that much to me. But unfortunatly I dont have the money right now..and thanks for your help!
 
Oh, she is gorgous to say the least. Unfortunatly its not a genetic trait that can be traced. Its from line breeding high whites to high whites. So, in my opinion if you don't have many high whites of different linages, they will eventually revert back to normal looking B/W tegu's.

Being penned up with many males. there is absolutly no way to find out who the father was unless gene testing were to be done. Which I am sure is pretty expensive to test them all.

Best wishes to the one who gets her, I can tell you it will NOT be me.
