Hey there!
This blog is dedicated to the love of all things reptilian (and a few exceptions). It’s a place to expand your knowledge, ask questions, submit pictures and express your love as we are doing with this blog.

As you can see (if you scroll down) this blog is filled with pictures of amphibians (frogs, salamanders, toads, etc), reptiles (lizards, turtles, snakes, tortoises, etc) with a few mentions of crocodilians and arachnids (scorpions, tarantulas, etc).
We’re very sorry if you have a fear of snakes or tarantulas (as I’ve gotten a few msgs explaining these concerns) but if it drives a fear that much, this place may not be the one for you.
Hope you decide to become part of our community and leave a submission or ask! Enjoy!

reptilefacts:

The Argentine Black and White Tegu (Tupinambis merianae),also known as the Argentine giant tegu, is the largest species of tegu. Tegus fill ecological niches similar to those of monitor lizards, and are an example of convergent evolution.

They are an omnivorous terrestrial lizards that inhabit the tropical rain forests of east and central South America. Just as many other reptiles, Argentine Tegus will go into brumation (a form of hibernation) in autumn when the temperature drops.

Tegus have been observed showing a high level of intelligence and a high level of physical activity during their wakeful period of the year. It is believed that individuals of this species sometimes actively seek human attention, as would a cat or dog.
