Lizards at Trinidad's Asa Wright Nature Centre Surprisingly, I only saw two lizards while I was in Trinidad, and they were both at the Asa Wright Nature Centre, so they can't really be described as totally wild. Nor totally polite... How wude! Still, you've got to admit this collarded tree lizard is pretty spectacular... ...as was the other lizard, which was a Tegu lizard. I was told that the word "tegu" is Latin for tiger, which seems appropriate, but I've since read that "tegu" is actually a South American Indian name for this lizard, and indeed I haven't been able to track down any Latin word "tegu". There are several types of tegu lizard, I think this might be a Gold Tegu (which used to be called tupinambis nigropunctatus but is now called tupinambis teguixin). As you can see, it's got pretty good claws, especially on the hind feet. There's a family of tegu lizards living at Asa Wright, attracted by the food which falls from the bird feeding tables. Because they see so many people around the place, they're not shy.. ...which might be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on whether you're nervous about confronting a large lizard which has sharp claws and teeth and can move quickly!

Sexing and Characteristics: Male Tegus are larger than females and develop large jowls. They also have "spurs" which can be felt on either side of the vent. Breeding usually takes place in late spring, early summer with hatchlings arriving in early fall. Females can lay between 15 and 30 eggs. Mostly Active During: Day Substrate and Water Needs: A deep (8-12inches) digable substrate that will hold a burrow is best. Clean dirt mixed with sand or peat works well, as well as Cypress mulch. Lighting and UVB: Hatchlings and juvenile Tegus benefit from UVB lighting as Metabolic Bone Disease can be an issue with this species when young. Established adults seem to do quite well without it. Tegus can be kept with lighting on 24/7 but a 12/12 photoperiod is also tolerated very well.

Sexing and Characteristics: The Argentinean Black and White Tegu is good temperd and with proper handling will become tame over time. Male Argentinean Black and White Tegu are a bit lager and a bit more agressive. But that is not always the case it all depends on the lizard. Mostly Active During: Day Substrate and Water Needs: A large water dish should be provided because the Argentinean Black and White Tegu will soke every so often. Argentinean Black and White Tegu like to dig so a good substrate would be mose, but not all moses are to good. You can also use newspaper, it makes it easier to clean but the Argentinean Black and White Tegu will not be able to dig. Lighting and UVB: Should be provided with a UVB and a UVA light.

9. Answers To Frequently Asked Questions About Tegu Lizards Easy to access information on tegu lizards kept as pets. http://www.bluetegu.com/tegu-faq.html

What should I feed my hatchling tegu? Crickets , small King Meal Worms , pink mice , are all suitable foods for baby tegus.. All insects should be fed prior to feeding them to your tegu . Argentine Red Tegus and Argentine Black and White tegus should be given some fruit once they are no longer feeding on insects. Can I hand feed my tegu ? It isn't a good idea . You wouldn't want your tegu to accidentally bite you while trying to remove food from your hand . Tegus grow fast and are capable of having a powerful bite . How should I feed it? Tegus who are trained to eat out of a bowl quickly recognize their bowls as a source of food . Making bowl feeding a regular habit will make it much easier for you to be able to handle your tegu regularly because they learn not to associate your hand with food and learn not to get excited every time you have to put your hand in their cage to work with them thinking they are going to be fed . The use of bowls for feeding will also help protect your tegu from ingesting their substrate . This is especially important if you are feeding foods which are sticky . Feeding insects such as meal worms in bowls will keep a good percentage of them from burrowing into the cage substrate. Save yourself and your pet a lot of headaches and heartbreak and don't make hand feeding a habit . If you are not mature enough to understand that you should not hand feed a tegu (even a baby) you should not purchase one. Remember that tegus and all other reptiles are not domesticated animals .

Red Tegu Tupinambis rufescens Family: Teiidae Red tegu lizards are native to Argentina. Measuring up to 4 feet in length they are the largest of all the tegus. Adults weigh an average of 20 pounds. Their skin is light reddish brown with dark cross bands. Males develop large jowls and tend to be larger and more brightly colored. Typical adult female coloration is reddish brown with white spots. Our tegus were captive bred and raised, are quite docile and known for their gentle dispositions. They lay an average of 20 eggs once a year. Our tegus arrived at the zoo April 2003 and were about 5 years old. Their names are Mr. Pickles and Mrs. Pickles . They are fed a plant-based diet with lots of fruit and an occasional mouse thrown in for variety.

Ballam and E. L. Coates Biomedical Research Division, Lovelace Medical Foundation, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87108. Nasal CO2-sensitive receptors are reported to depress ventilatory frequency in several reptilian species in response to constant low levels of inspired CO2. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of phasic patterns of CO2 in the upper airways on ventilation. Awake lizards (Tupinambis nigropunctatus) breathed through an endotracheal tube from an isolated gas source. A second gas mixture was forced at constant flow into

Conservation Biology of Tegu Lizards in Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia M. Margarita Mieres, Lee A. Fitzgerald, and A.L. Aquino Tegu lizards of the genus Tupinambis are the most heavily exploited reptiles in the world by number, with about 1,300,000 being harvested every year in Argentina and Paraguay. An undetermined number of skins enter the trade from Bolivia and Brazil. This resource is important to local people and the leather industry, but the lizards have only been exploited according to market demand for their skins. Commercially exploited lizards have never been managed, and our program is serving as a model for wildlife management in the Neotropics and for lizard management in particular. Research is being carried out in three areas: 1) Harvest Monitoring: Tegu lizards are difficult and costly to study in the wild, so estimates of population trends of Tupinambis spp. depend on data taken from the annual harvest. Harvest monitoring is now required by law in Argentina and Paraguay. Teams of biologists from CITES-Paraguay take monthly field trips to gather data on sex ratios and body size distributions of Tupinambis skins entering the commercial trade. This sampling regime provides data on all three species of
