Popeti li se tegus?

Ponašanje pri penjanju na Tegu drastično se mijenja s godinama. Svi su tegui općenito rođeni kao drvećari (tj. penju se i žive na drveću kako bi pobjegli od grabežljivaca) ali se pomaknu na tlo kako rastu.

Odrasli tegusi su kopneni, nije arborealno, i životinje koje kopaju jame koje radije provode vrijeme na kopnu i općenito se ne vole penjati. Rečeno je, u stanju su, ako žele.

Juvenile tegus love to climb. Odrasle osobe, not so much.

Climbing behavior in tegu species

There are three main species of tegus commonly kept as pets: Spasitelj Meriana, Spasitelj pocrveni, and Tupinambis teguixin.

These species all exhibit the same climbing behavior patterns. Juvenile tegus are very agile climbers and spend a lot of time in trees, they use their sharp claws and powerful tails to grip branches and move quickly through the trees.

As they get older, tegus become less arboreal and spend more time on the ground. They still have the ability to climb, but they do not do it as often.

Other less common species of tegus, such as the Dracaena guianensis, or Caiman Lizard, are actually arboreal and do climb extensively even as adults.

These lizards have long, slender bodies and powerful tails that help them to grip branches. They are also very good at jumping from branch to branch.
