Thanks all.
Ally just shed so her once "dirty" white is really vibrant now.
Skoobz just shed a week ago as well, so his yellow (along with his new found fondness of "huffing") is really lively...

Even though it's a nice, warm day here in Colorado, it's too cloudy to bring them outside and try to get a good photo...So here's a quick shot of our "babies".

One egg + the shell is plenty for a single tegu - especially if it's mixed in with his/her other favorite food items.
I'd recommend hard-boiled or scrambled due to the biotin related problems raw...
Like Dana, I often grind up egg shells when I mix eggs with other forms of food.
For powder, I use a precipitated calcium carbonate powder with no d3.
I also have liquid calcium...
Hrm unless I was so used to it, I didn't notice the smell everyone mentions. We used to bring our ferrets to work with us everyday. Mocha, Scooter and Mordekai. They sure used to love eating...
Dana,
You should try and get some videos of your tegu and monitor, would really like to see them in action...
On that note, I will tell my favorite tegu story...
Before Sam, our almost 4 year old gold tegu passed, we took him to the vet for a check-up.
Keep in mind, this was his first check-up ever,...
Currently enjoying the recipe I found at LLLReptile.com
This recipe has apparently been used as a staple for monitors, captive komodo dragons (at the San Diego Zoo) as well as tegus.

By the looks of the little guy on the link you provided, he sure looks like a true tegu.
I'm amazed by the sheer variety of tegus there are, and how highly intelligent and adaptable they are.

Lot's of cool tegu behavior going on in this thread.
That being said, let me know if this is an intelligent animal...
Ally my adult b&w basks out in our garden. The garden is on the side of...
With all those food options, and the fact he's burying himself so much, I'm beginning to think this is brumation related.
New homing stress and being unsure if he should be sleeping or active,...
Awesome pics, thanks for sharing.
And what's up with this little guy?
Juvenile Crocadile Tegu, Crocodilurus amazonicus
I'd never have imagined a tegu having purple and pink hues. He's...
Contrary to what you might think, your husbandry is not terrible and you aren't being a bad tegu mom :)
However, it doesn't matter if you have 2 water bowls or 1, or 3 lights or 1. Or the exact...
Nice pic bubblz.
If there was ever a look of contentedness on a tegu, this is it.
Hi -
Dana C had a very good point about brumation.
Your tegu might not be ready to be active yet.
Weather around the nation has been weird this year - exceptionally warm weather in many...
Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I frequent tegutalk.com regularly and recently came across this incredible site.
I see a few familiar faces (avatars) if you will, and...
Any signs of MBD (metabolic bone disease)? Any twitching of the toes? Any deformation in any of the toes or feet? Does he lift himself off the ground when he walks or does he drag himself and/or rear...
I know the thread is a little old, but here's my 2...
I purchased (2) baby colombian tegus from LLL about 2 weeks ago (online).
The entire transaction was as good as any online transaction I've...
