Yeah, so they're a really large South American lizard.
They grow...
you know, four to four and a half feet long, um, not Komodo dragon size, but much bigger than anything we have here in the U S nor normally.
And, uh, they've become established in some places in the Southeast.
Um, there's, you know, a few different populations in Florida and now at least this one in South Georgia and concerns of them becoming established elsewhere.
Uh, and they're, um, as you'd expect a big reptile to do, they kind of eat what they want and, uh, it turns out they can kind of live where they want.
What's, what's the main, sorry, go ahead.
A lot of people think of.
I'll just say a lot of people think of South America as being like tropical rainforest all over, but you know, where these Tegus are from in terms of latitude, if you were to mirror it on the North America, you know, the Southern end of where they live would be equivalent to like 40 degrees South, which is roughly like Pennsylvania in the U S um,
And there's a lot of other things that determine climate, you know, but just to give you an idea, they live in a very temperate environment, very similar to what we have in the southern U.S.
I mean, you're asking if it's like the broodstock trout?
Yeah, are we talking broodstock or are we talking wild here?
In terms of actually being a product of the environment?
Possibly, yeah.
I mean, so, you know, we have harvested animals or plants
the public has, has shot them and we've trapped some that are, you know, three and a half to four feet in length.
I mean, it there, yeah, we've had some pretty big ones.
It's usually the males that get that big.
Um, so yeah, I mean, eventually I'm, I'm sure we have some four plus foot tegus out there, man.
Yeah, they, so they'll eat just about anything, plant, animal matter, whatever they want.
