Aquí está Juancho, un lagarto overo colorado o tupinambis rufescens, comiendo unas ricas cerezas de la mano de mi papá. Como pueden ver, le encantan. Si querés ver fotos: http://thetegu.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=thumbnails&album=278

Here is Juancho, a red tegu, eating some delicious cherries from the hand of my dad. As you can see, he loves them. If you want to see pics: http://thetegu.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=thumbnails&album=278

Because tegus, like all lizards, are exothermic, a temperature gradient will allow them to find the perfect location for their needs, so they also need a spot for basking with a temperature of 100 F – 120 F.
