Welcome to Regal Reptiles. Today we're going to talk about and learn about how to choose how to care for and how big our giant Argentine tegu's are going to get. We have a giant Argentine black and white tegu as well as a giant Argentine tegus. We're going to show you how big they are going to get and what you are going to need to care for them now and in the future as well. This is an adult male Argentine black and white tegu and he is very friendly and very easy to care for despite his large size. The most important thing is finding him or building him a very big enclosure cause he'll eat anything he can find. He will eat leftovers, he'll eat ground turkey, he'll eat dog and cat food and we even feed him frozen mice which are very easily found and very affordable. So this guy is a scavenger from Argentina not to be confused with the Columbian tegus which don't get as quiet as big but are much much more aggressive.
