FUN FACTS!

• The purple tegu, also known as the Argentine giant tegu, is a large species of lizard native to South America. With its striking purple hue, the purple tegu is a popular choice for exotic pet owners and reptile enthusiasts. These lizards can grow up to 4 feet in length and weigh over 10 pounds, making them one of the largest lizard species in their native habitat.

  Purple tegus are opportunistic omnivores, meaning they will eat a wide variety of foods including insects, fruits, vegetation, and small mammals. In the wild, they are known to dig burrows to escape predators or regulate their body temperature. They are also capable swimmers and will sometimes dive into water to catch prey.

  These lizards are highly intelligent and can become very tame with consistent handling and socialization. They are known for their curious and inquisitive nature, often investigating their surroundings and interacting with their owners. However, it is important to provide a large and secure enclosure for purple tegus, as they are powerful and active reptiles that require plenty of space to move and explore.

  In recent years, the purple tegu has become a popular species in the exotic pet trade, leading to concerns about their impact on native ecosystems if released into the wild. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the natural habitats of purple tegus and promote responsible ownership practices. With the proper care and attention, purple tegus can make fascinating and rewarding pets for experienced reptile keepers.
