If they hibernate, two years. If not, about a year and a half. :)

thats good to know . i do believe that given a year or so i can definately make room for a larger encloser . maybe once i get my rack built and pay off the pastel ball i'm buying , a tegu might have to be next :scatter:

How tame are they as babies? do you have to do any bugs? or can they just go stright to mice and turkey?

Can you put them in a 6x3x3 from a baby? or will they get nervous? you dont need hideboxes do you?

I would house them in a smaller cage to start with. I do use hide boxes. I also feed insects. As for tame, my tegus have not offered to bite. I think it is passed on from the parents. My adults are tame. I have seen some babies that would bite quick. But keep in mind, you are so large, he is so small. Big things eat small things. So, what would he be thinking you were going to do with him? His first reaction, is fight or flight. You must build trust with your tegu.
