The super blue tegu for sale is the ultimate lizard, known for its gentleness, friendly personality, and personal bonds. They’re your mellow, long-term pal. The super blue tegu for sale are large, intelligent reptiles who enjoy close bonds with their owners. They make excellent long-term companions and are known for their mellow temperaments as adults. They are often compared to dogs for their strong loyalty, free-roaming tendencies and ability to be housetrained.
Diet
super blue tegu for sale are omnivores. They enjoy a diet mixed with plant and animal matter and are known for being hardy eaters. Feeding a full-grown Tegu for 20 years is an expensive endeavor, and this ongoing cost should be carefully considered before a super blue tegu for sale is purchased. You will be making a moderately sized meal for your lizard multiple times a week as they grow older. The portion size you feed your Tegu in one sitting should be the size of their skull. This prevents overeating and choking. A varied diet must be offered to your reptile to ensure that it is receiving the dietary requirements it needs to thrive. For the first year of their life, you should feed your Tegu 90% protein and 10% vegetables with fruit as treats. As they grow older, you can feed your Tegu 60% protein, 30% vegetables, and 10% fruit. Fruit is high in sugar and can contribute to obesity, a leading health complication for Tegus in captivity.
For proteins, your super blue tegu for sale can have cooked fish, dubia roaches, shrimp, cooked eggs, chicks, ducklings, boiled organ meats, ground chicken, ground turkey, mice, or rats. Mice or rats should be captive-bred and thawed safely before consumption.
Insects are sufficient for young super blue tegu for sale, but as they grow older, they will not be an adequate food source.
For vegetables, you can feed your super blue tegu for sale peas, squash, figs, dandelions, carats, collard greens, kale, mustard greens, turnips, squash, and yam.
For fruits, your super blue tegu for sale can munch on strawberries, raspberries, apples, kiwis, pears, pumpkins, papayas, mangos, apricots, bananas, grapes, and other fruit.
Personality
The super blue tegu for sale are incredibly intelligent and are known for having big personalities. At two years old, they go through a Teguberty phase, where they may act out as a way to show dominance. This is an important point in your Tegu’s life, and you should make sure that you maintain a close relationship.
Training will become crucial at this point. This phase will pass and your Tegu should become more docile. Tegus are exceptionally intelligent and like to form close bonds with their owners. The super blue tegu for sale can be taught tricks, commands, and will learn to respond to their names after being trained right.
It is likely that they will follow their owners around the house, and want to spend more time outside of their enclosure than inside. It’s for this reason that they are sometimes compared to dogs. They are known for cuddling up on the couch, exploring all the corners of the house, and are fond of playing with dog or cat toys. This is a very interactive reptile and they make great companions for keepers who are looking for a close bond with a reptile.
Handling Your Tegu
I believe it is best, when trying to tame your super blue tegu for sale, that you do not stare directly into its eyes or make sudden moves with your hands. Always be gentle, calm, and talk softly so as not to frighten your pet. One good method of taming is to take your tegu into a small room, such as the bathroom, and just sit with your pet while letting it roam. It won’t be long before your tegu starts crawling onto you as it gets calmer and perceives no threat from you. Do this regular to promote bonding.
Food and Water for super blue tegu
The super blue tegu for sale are omnivores in the wild, so there are many foods you can offer pets. Hatchlings will devour insects, but these must be dusted with calcium powder. Calcium is a must for healthy tegus, both young and adult! Adults can be offered whole frozen/thawed rodents, lean meat, fish, eggs, fruit and vegetation. It is best to vary a tegu’s diet, even if it means having to mix some things together in order to hide vegetation, which some may refuse to eat at first. I do not recommend feeding a whole-prey diet exclusively.
All the super blue tegu for sale discussed later in this article generally have the same feeding requirements. I am partial to offering mine ground turkey, because it’s a lean meat, with added calcium. I feed hatchlings once a day, yearlings every other day, and adults every three days. On in-between days you can offer a treat, such as fresh fruit. Just remember, though, that an overweight tegu will not be a healthy one!
