This past week, we had Rachel and Joey here performing genetic classification research on our adult tegus. Rachel is a graduate student and was enthusiastic and passionate about her work! We were happy to have them visit, and both Hector and Rachel learned a lot from one another. We are excited to learn the results of her study as she's been collecting data over the course of 3 years! These are some of my current and future breeder Blue Tegus. The colors range from high whites to deep blues, and albinos of course. It's hard to capture the vivid colors these animals display.
This year I tried S.I.M containers for a few tegu clutches. One of the main advantages I can see is no eggs dried out. I like the no contact as well since if one egg goes bad it's harder for it to spread to the others. For Sale --> Blue Cross Tegus: $250 shipped.
These babies are doing great eating ground whole chicken mix I grind with bone and add croc diet, crickets and ready to ship. They are captive bred and born from a pair I raised from babies. The father is a blue cross(Omega) and the female is also a blue cross, both show light coloration through out, and the babies should grow to be some awesome looking adults. The babies raised last year turned out to be awesome looking, take a look at F2 pics for more examples. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

These babies are doing great eating ground whole chicken mix I grind with bone and add croc diet, crickets and ready to ship. They are captive bred and born from a pair I raised from babies. The father is a pure blue(actually blue) and the female is a F2 blue/BW, both show light coloration through out, and the babies should grow to be some awesome looking adults. These guys look more like blue babies than black and white as they are 75% blue and 25% black and white. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Regards, Hector [email protected] www.hectorshabitat.com www.facebook.com/HectorsHabitat This cross is produced by crossing a male Blue Cross(Omega) with Blue Cross Females in 2014. The original breeding to get the blue cross line was a male black and white chacoan and a female blue in 2013. By selecting the nicest strongest ones and breeding them back has created some of the below tegus with color. These are currently around 10 months old and are getting better with each shed. My plan now is to breed these to pure blues with color or high whites to hopefully bring out the low pattern and nice characteristics. As with most people I like the light contrast, but in addition I like the variation in coloring and pattern. I enjoy seeing how different the same line can look from one another, showing the genetic diversity.
My first albino blue tegu is doing quite well and is growing nicely. It is now about 2.5 months old, keeping up with it's siblings in growth. I have let it out in the sun with an enclosed hide under a tree to supply ample shade for a few days here and there, but primarily have kept it indoors. The others I kept back are also growing and doing well some tend to have better vision than others.
I was fortunate this year to produce some very nice albino blue tegus and have decided to make a few available. The first albino blue tegu baby ready to ship now, comes from pure blue parents and is doing quite well hatched 8/8/14. My most recent clutch hatched starting 8/28/14 also had a few albino blues which came from the same father and different blue female. I will make these available in a few weeks to make sure they are growing and eating well.
Price: $2500 shipped. We also currently still have the following baby tegus available: Hybrids (Blue/Red/BW(chaco)) = $250 shipped Blue Crosses = $250 shipped After a second shed this little fatty looks pretty sweet. It's hard to capture all the coloring it has but it's very vibrant. I can't wait to see how these turn out in a few months. Was taking some pictures of some other babies so I figured I would get some new ones of the albino blue. He seems to be doing quite well eating and growing. The pattern on his back has already changed. These babies are looking great, came out of the egg ready to pound food. All are eating voraciously on crickets , ground turkey mixed with chopped chicken parts, and veggies. The father is a brother to Omega(my blue cross male father to the blue cross babies) and the mother is a female I acquired as a sub-adult and was told it was Red/Blue cross but I'm not certain on that and want to be clear. Regardless, I chose to cross this female for her high white contrast to a very beautiful blue cross male in hopes to have some unique hybrid babies with great color and disposition.
They should be ready to ship out next week and I will be bringing some to the Daytona National Breeder Expo. They are priced at $250 shipped. I went to check on the blue tegu eggs in the incubator this morning and went from being relaxed to crazy excited. To my surprise one large albino baby tegu amongst some other very dark siblings. This came from a female blue who is actually the mother of last season's blue cross tegus, and the father was a blue tegu from Ty. Hopefully this very rare creature grows to be a beautiful healthy tegu.
They are captive bred and born from a pair I raised from babies. See breeding pics for more photos. These guys are showing awesome color variation already and should be some sweet looking adults. They are $225, plus shipping I use FedEx Priority overnight. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
