Cooked vs Raw egg

While it is generally best to feed your tegu uncooked foods, raw eggs can lead to problems in large amounts.

This is because they contain an enzyme called avidin which may impact your pet’s ability to absorb biotin (B7 vitamini), leading to skin problems and shedding issues.

This enzyme is mostly contained in the egg white and can be denatured by heat, which is why feeding your tegu scrambled or soft boil eggs is not a bad idea.

Keep in mind though that cooking the egg will also make it less nutritious. As long as you don’t overdo it, feeding eggs raw is preferrable.

Some people argue that boiling your egg for a minute or so is ideal in order to get rid of salmonella, this is unnecessary as reptiles already contain plenty of salmonella in their guts and their stomachs are pretty much unaffected by it.
