Monsters! How the heck did that one fit into such a small egg? Absolutely awesome, that just makes me want one even more. I babysat a tegu for a friend and he was so much fun, dang I miss him.

Michael, to tell you the truth. Tegus are the only reptile that I know of that the egg builds up pressure during incubation. Tegu eggs start off soft and dented, as the progress they get more firm. When the hatchling cuts the shell, fluid squirts out of the egg. That is why the egg appears small.

Michael, you need one of them!! There is nothing like them!! Thanks for the great comments!!

They are soo cute!!

Thanks Laura!!
