ARGENTINE BLACK AND WHITE *juvenile / little one * 225.00 with free shipping include

No need for a special diet consisting of live worms, roaches and crickets ETC.
as with hatchlings.

Juveniles are mature enough to understand and explore around them (that includes you).

These are hard to find at this time of year. I have them because I do not rely wholesalers or breeders for my inventory. They are calmer and less prone to injury.

As with most species, the majority of learning occurs after infancy as the brain grows and develops. All tegus share the genetic makeup that makes them so special.

Tameness and curiosity are not traits that can be bred. Tegus learn as they grow.

My tegus are Guaranteed Healthy and Happy upon arrival.

Every Tegu in my inventory undergoes preventative parasite applications: Fenbendazole ( Panacur ),Metrondizole ( Flagyl ).

Terrific Tegus—No Bull.

Your purchase rescues Florida tegus from a major euthanasia and eradication
plan currently in progress by the state. In addition, the native species will thank you for your help in removing these nonnatives from their habitat. You will receive a healthy grade A tegu from a gene pool of over twenty thousand animals mating in the wild.

If you love tegus and would like to assist the balance of nature in a way that protects the very special ecosystem that is the Everglades,this is a purchase you can feel good about.

MORE THAN JUST BREEDING.

Wild or captive

all mine are wild captured. they grew up under natural sunlight, are used to various
environments and a variety of foods as opposed to what the breeder fed them and
real world exercise.

Here is what you need to know about tameness :
Argentine black and white (Tupinambis merianae) tegus are tame by their very nature.
Tameness cannot be bred into or out of them. Captive bred or wild caught,
Tupinambis merianae have a genetic predisposition to be a smart, curios, gentle animal. You can think of it like this : When your tegu arrives, it is a blank slate. It will become what you make of it. You will be the first human to spend quality time with it.
Those are the facts. I will not say that my tegus are ‘puppy dog tame’ and will not bite because I don’t know you. I don’t know who will be handling it, if it is being fed live food items, type of enclosure, proximity to other pets like dogs, cats, and about a hundred other things. When a seller claims his tegu is tame, you need to understand that he is, of course, telling you what you want to hear to sell you a tegu. No one can predict exactly how that tegu will act when it is removed from an environment where it is familiar and comfortable, shipped to a new and different world, then handled by strangers. Do not count on a pet shop or breeder to tame your tegu for you. It does not work that way. The Argentine’s are so popular because they adapt to these kind of changes easily.
All my tegus are healthy and fully capable of being your best friend with very little effort on your part, just the same as captive bred or any others
