The Chacoan white-headed tegu is another type of salvator merianae native to the Chaco region of Paraguay (and also known as “Paraguayan tegu”).

They are very similar to the black and white tegu both in looks and behavior, but they tend to grow even larger in size, with adult males averaging 5 أقدام.

Because they are the biggest of all tegu species, Chacoan white-headed tegus need bigger encloures with plenty of space, but are otherwise quite tame and easy to care for.

The Red tegu is a separate species which shares much of the same characteristics of the Argentine tegu.

They can however get even larger in size and some people think they are more prone to experience shedding issues and skin problems, وخاصة في فصل الشتاء.

5# Colombian gold tegu

محيط: tupinambis teguixin
Difficulty: Moderate

حجم الضميمة: 6x3x3+
حمية: آكلة اللحوم

Colombian tegus belong to the tupinambis teguixin species, which is known to be more aggressive and challenging to tame tame compared to Argentine and Red tegu.

Colombian tegus can actually be tamed with a bit of patience, they do take more time. This may also be due to the fact that most specimens available in the trade are caught from the wild and not hatched by breeders.

Once tamed, they are actually quite similar to other tegus in terms of behavior, they are however much smaller in size and have a mainly carnivorous diet (only 10% of fruits and vegetables).
