What is the Argentine teg?

Argentine Teg is a relatively large type of lizard originating from South America. These exotic pets are popular because they are usually slightly raised and obedient. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to maintaining the Argentine teg as a pet is its size because they can reach up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) and weigh up to £ 15 (6.8 kilograms). Typical Argentine Teg will eat quite a lot, but it can be fed on the diet of small rodents, various fruits, eggs and insects. People who want to maintain this exotic pet is usually recommended that they offer it as much diversity as possible and supplement the diet of calcium and vitamin D3 with mineral supplements regularly. The cage should usually be about 8 feet x 4 feet of 2.5 feet (2.4 x 1.2 x 0.8 meters). The daily temperatures inside the cover should be kept at about 80 ° Fahrenheit (26.6 ° C) and the night temperatures should generally maintain about 70 ° Fahrenheit (21 ° Celsius).

Like most reptiles, the average Argentine teg will need a place in which it can warm up. This place should be heated to about 100 ° Fahrenheit (37.7 ° Celsius), but should be designed so that the lizard can easily escape to a cooler place if too warm. They will also usually need 12 hours of daily access to UVA/UVB light, either from a reptile lamp or from the sun.

The levels of moisture inside the cover should usually be kept about 60 percent. If maintaining the entire moisture cover is not feasible, it is considered to be acceptable to provide a lizard so that the lizard sheds and out as he likes. It is generally recommended to enable these lizards hibernation during the winter, in accordance with their natural metabolic patterns.

Meat and eggs with shells that remain on each other can form most of the typical Argentine teg diet. Ground Turkey is a popular choice among enthusiasts, although beefLiver, chicken liver, beef heart, fish, rodents and young birds can be fed. For these lizards are considered worms, crickets, crickets, cockroaches and other insects.

growing lizards will need daily calcium and vitamin D3 supplementation, but as soon as the lizard reaches maturity, the supplementation can be limited to twice a week. Fruits such as berries, apples, pears or mangoes are usually considered an important part of the Argentine Teg. Feeding should generally occur daily and the lizard should normally be allowed to eat its filler for about 60 minutes.
