    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....

I have a large inventory of yearlings and subadults and
adults that are available now.
You can specify the exact tegu in the pictures in my ads.
Simply refer to the numbers and letters at the bottom of ad.
What you see is what you will get.
THESE ARE TRUE ARGENTINE BLACK AND WHITE WITH THE GENETIC MAKEUP AND BACKGROUND THAT MAKES THEM SO SPECIAL. Guaranteed Healthy and Happy upon arrival.
24 hour shipping is only 50.00
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.

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,
Tupinambus 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.

I can tell you, I have purchased a beautiful tegu from Mr Irwin and he is the most tame tegu I have ever had. He's totally awesome.
