Watermelon is perfectly safe for tegus to eat and it can be a healthy addition to their diet in moderation.
Watermelon and melons in general make for a good treat for tegu lizards, as long as they are fed sporadically. This is because of the high sugar content in melons and fruit in general.
It is best to serve watermelon without seeds and rind to avoid the risk of constipation, but other than that it is quite healthy as far as fruits go.
甜瓜和哈密瓜等类似水果也是不错的选择, and may be slightly better from a nutritional point of view, since watermelon mostly contains water (顾名思义).
根据经验, 不多于 10% of your tegu’s diet should comprise fruits, and only a small part of this 10% should come from (水) 瓜类.
Colombian gold tegus should also be fed less fruits compared to Argentine black and white tegus and Red tegus.
