TEGU - How To Build YOUR TEGU ENCLOSURE - DIY

#Tegu #Zilla #Zoomed #Exoterra #Argentineblackandwhitetegu #Petco #howto

Meet George. George is a Argentine Black & White Tegu. This reptile can live upwards of 20 years and grow to be 4 feet long making it a great pet for those hobbyists who can house and support it as an adult. George was abandoned at my friend Becca's work along with 3 Sulcata Tortoises that looked to over a year old. They claimed one of the tortoises was pregnant when in reality she had an upper respiratory infection so these animals were obviously not being well taken care of. Becca decided she could make this commitment and took him home that night in a temporary holding tank they dropped him off in, called me and a plan was hatched. We're pretty proud of this video, probably my favorite to date. Our goal was to not only entertains but also teach for those of you who are also doing their youtube research.

I love watching them pop their heads out of the substrate. It’s so cute 💚

The tank has to be upgraded to a custom tank when he gets older right? And I hear it needs to be HUGE. Are you going to build it yourself?
