Animal Spotlight: Argentine
Black & White Tegu
Generally native to subtropical regions of South America, the
Argentine black & white tegu can live in dry, sandy environments
as well as in forested and open areas. In recent years, though, they
have been found as far north as Florida and are considered an
invasive species there because they prey on the eggs of native
animals like the gopher tortoise and American crocodile. In
addition to feeding on eggs, tegu's have a diverse diet including
various insects, fruits, vegetables and even small rodents. At Mystic
Aquarium, our tegu primarily eats a variety of fruit once a week and
hard-boiled eggs and mice twice weekly.

Spring cleaning is all the rage, but it's a good idea to
keep things fresh in the fall as well.
- Vacuum
the coils under and behind your refrigerator - this should be
done every three months to ensure it operates efficiently.
- Mix
vinegar, salt and water together to make an ammonia-based
cleaner you can use around the house without toxic fumes.
- Household
chemicals should never be poured down drains. Instead, check for
local programs that dispose of hazardous waste.
