Dons' Tupinambis

[Thamnophis]

Also not an option in the Netherlands. We often get the remains of your weather

[drache]

definitely not an option in this part of the US either.
How bog an enclosure do you keep him in anyway?
Or does he get a room to himself?

Kind of random but why does it say you're from New York with a German Flag Rhea?

[drache]

because I live in the US (Brooklyn, NY), but I am from Germany - expat.

Alright, I take it back. He's sort of cute... but still, I wouldn't stick my hand in his mouth. =3

He lives in a terrarium with the following measurements:
2 x 4 x 2 m - D x W x H

[drache]

I figured he would need something that large

[Thamnophis]

Personally I think it could be bigger. It will be when we start rebuilding the part of the exhibition where it lives.

We have doubts about the species. Either it is Tupinambis teguixin or T. merianae.
It came from Argentina. Do not know the exact locality.
Could it also be T. merianae, James? What do you think.
Look at this picture...



We had some years ago a number of Callipistos flavipunctatus.
They were (and stayed) agressive. Nice lizards

What does it eat?

Tegus are mainly carnivorous (rodents, other meat...they love eggs) but they also take some fruit.
