What do you think will happen with the tegus in south Florida?

I bought a captured invasive Tegu from Rodney at Tegusonly and she’s the sweetest little chomper. Do you support what he’s doing down here?

Thanks

Thanks for the thoughts, agree on all the points. I would argue that adult tegus are a bit more manageable than you might think.. they calm down relatively quickly in the right habitat.

As for my tegu, I got her as a ~15inch subadult and she was immediately calm and handleable. Admittedly though I’m not a first time keeper.. I’ve had a few monitor species before.

I’d recommend you look at what Rodney at TegusOnly is doing... seems to be a decent solution to the problem, although I’m sure it’s probably hardly making a dent in the populations.
