[mandrakezu]

Why don´t you upload a video of Juancho´s tonging your ass ??

[fishfreak95]

@gebris353 The reason you should cook them is unfertilized chicken eggs contain biotin  which is not safe for tegus. Tegus eat fertilized eggs in the wild which don't have biotin.

@gebris353 Seriously.. you can't compare what he gets in the wild with what you give him....Wild eggs are not infected with salmonella and all other kinds of sickening bacteria as the eggs we usually eat. It's ok to tell you should cook them before giving them as food...the same goes for raw meat.. what they eat in the wild is fresh and recently killed... what we put in our freezers isn't....
