Dynamic tegu portrait
A beautiful tegu that I think I saw at a reptile expo several years ago going by the date and if memory serves, this is an Argentinian tegu, Salvator merianae.
These are the largest of the tegu lizards, an omnivorous species which live in tropical rain forests, savannas and semi-deserts of eastern and central South America.
I learned that males can reach around 1 m in length, but larger sizes have been noted. Also that they are intelligent animals and that they have become popular as pets.
