Second clutch of blue tegu eggs so far for this year. I hope for a few more. This was a nice sized clutch at 28 eggs, and pretty deep hole. During this time it's pretty important to get them right away as they can dry out quickly. Also ants are very annoying and quick to go for the eggs especially if the female punctured any.
This is about 50 pounds of ground whole chicken mixed with Mazuri Croc diet. After feeding in the early afternoon, I noticed right before it rained all the tegus began to eat in all the cages at the same time. This was very odd as they all eat at different times throughout the day. I wonder what triggers them to eat at that specific moment. It's always interesting caring for these animals and I'm always learning.
Fighting off the dusk mosquitos I collected a very nice clutch of Hybrid tegu eggs. She was bred to a blue male. She laid 42 eggs but 4 were slugs.
I was very excited this morning to find one of my females had laid a beautiful clutch of 36 eggs. She has been working hard on the nest for a while now... Can't wait to see how these babies turn out.
