Forget kingsnake.com

That is the WORST place to purchase tegus from. They believe a correct diet is just ground turkey. NOT!!
Nipped tails, MBD, and missing fingers here we come.


Spend $50 more dollars and get a high quality tegu from Bobby Hill. The total is $150 shipped.

Good to know...

Well, I don’t want to put down people on kingsnake.com I stand corrected.

But, a lot of people on there selling tegus are just wholesaling the tegus. Lets say they buy like 30 hatchlings for maybe only $50 a peace (a "lot" sale). They turn around and sell individual tegus for $99. They make big profit. BUT in the mean time, they aren’t fed properly, and very rarely have sufficient husbandry requirements. This leads to tail dipping, loss of digits from improper humidity, and aggressiveness towards humans.

I’m not saying everyone on kingsnake does this, but there are quite a few. You just have to know how to sort through the good and bad ones.

Johnny LaRocca doesn’t breed tegus. He helps Timo (Bert L’s son) sell off tegus. BAD reviews.

His website may say he does, but I can PROVE he doesn’t ;)

Bad salesmen will tell you what you want to hear, not what you should hear.

How much was he asking for a red? What age? Sex doesn’t matter.

Deredevle, Not knowing where you live you might want to see when the repticon convention is coming anywhere near your area. I just picked up my Agentine B/W for $85.00. the local pet store wanted $125.00 for one so I went with the better deal and the supply they had looked very healthy. I am very happy with my purchase. here is the website for you to check.Repticon

dont go to tegu terra. go to www.varnyard-herps.com if you want the best. they might cost more, but you get what you pay for.

a Honda isnt the same as a Ferrari but they are both cars. <-example of getting what you pay for

I dont negate the fact that Bert did have fine tegus back when he cared for them. Since Berts passing, Timo hasn’t done much to take care of his dad’s animals. A lot of the reptiles died (including 4-5 entire species he bred for) and a lot of tegus passed away as well.

I’m from Ca too. I’m in Los Angeles. I don’t know the name of the reptile show, but there’s a big one that I heard is pretty good showing in Anaheim Sept 5th and 6th I believe. If I get more details I’ll let you know what’s up. I had a buddy tell me at the San Diego show you could get a 2 foot Argentine Blk and Wht for 40 bucks. I would like to go, but I’ll have to miss out this year.

I got mine from varnyard and am very pleased. It is a red and about a year and a half old now and is very tame and eats like a champ. Bobby breeds great quality tegus for a fair price. you wont regret it. i bought a lacerta from Timo and he keeps a lot of his reptiles outside so they arent tame.
