* ARGENTINE SCRATCH AND DENT SALE PRICED AT 150.00

These tegus are in great health, they are just cosmetically challenged. ( regen. Tail )
When I capture a tegu like this one, I cannot return it into the wild.

I will not sell these tegus at regular prices. I call him/her a scratch and dent and offer at a great price to anyone interested in helping the tegu, my operation, and the native Florida species
Why wait? they are available now in various sizes. This sale will continue until the supply runs out.

Lack of full tail does not have an impact on temperament, feeding or anything else that would change their behavior. This a common occurrence in most lizard species, captive bred and wild captured.

If these guys could speak they would probably say something like:
"hey, we’re lizards, it grows back !"

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 tegu from a gene pool of over thirty thousand tegus 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.

Are a lot of the ones you catch/ rehabilitate and rehome. Just as friendly as a CCB?

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.

If you are ready to purchase, I will send pictures of the one I will ship. I can’t take pictures and hold them for more than a day or so. ( bad for the tegu )

Send me an email with name, address, zip and PHONE, and I will send you a paypal money request. When paid, I ship as soon as possible. I guarantee your tegu will be healthy and happy when it arrives.
