Description

Owning a red tegu is not a task for the faint of heart. These lizards get massive and require an enclosure not everyone can create. However, if you are an experienced reptile enthusiast and want to give it a whirl—find out all basics.

These lizards are actually quite docile and agreeable for their size. So, if you’ve dreamed of owning a giant reptile, this might be a good beginner for you. They do have long lifespans and specific care, so let’s make sure you’re up for the challenge.

Do Red Tegus Make Good Pets?

Red tegus are native to parts of South America, including Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. These tropical big guys love hot, humid weather—so no matter where you live in the world, they need heat.

Red tegus can make good pets to the right owners. Because these lizards grow to such a large size, it’s important to fully grasp exactly how much room they need.

But don’t let their massive size necessarily deter you—these lizards are pretty docile creatures that require an intermediate amount of care.
