Hi! My name is Tegan and I am looking for a forever family.

I require a home that has large lizard experience and I require a large usually custom made enclosure.

In love taking a warm bath, especially when I am shedding.

I can be temperamental if you wake me up and hard to take out of my enclosure and to handle but if you wait till I am awake on my own then I am handleable. I also can get a little hangry so regular feedings are important to me.

The females are much smaller, but may grow up to 3 feet (91 cm) in length from nose to tail. They have beaded skin and stripes running down their bodies. Adult females can reach a weight of 2.5–7.0 kilograms (5.5–15.4 lb). Most Tegu's like me live to be 10-15 yrs old.

I was owned by one person for my entire life but an unavoidable move meant that I was not able to go with them, so luckily they brought me to the experienced people at SBRSC until I can find my new home.

If you think we may be a good match, or you would like to get to know me better, please click the Adoption Application button below and an adoption counselor will reach back out to you!
