Tegu Lizard
(Salvator merianae)
Habitat: Burrows, under debris, sheds, HVAC pads, and crawl spaces.
Common Sites: Agricultural zones, nurseries, and urban outskirts (esp. FL & GA).
Detection Focus: Active burrows, scent trails, basking spots; dogs may locate hidden tegus before visual ID is possible.
Canine-assisted tegu detection helps property managers and agricultural businesses locate invasive tegu lizards before they damage crops or native ecosystems. Our wildlife-trained dogs can detect hidden burrows and scent trails, supporting safe and legal removal on farms, nurseries, and urban outskirts.
