Hi Eblickenstaff. I see you're a new member. Welcome to the forums. Thanks for your input. I bought the little one already. I can already see how it depends on their moods. Sometimes it is sweet and...
I'm very surprised with this one. Last I saw of it, it ran away from me in its new enclosure (As to be expected.) It slept through all day yesterday, again, expected. Today I saw it peeking out...

Here it is!
Thanks for your input draco. I'm going to be picking up the baby Colombian today.
I lost my red tegu to organ failure on January 20th. I miss owning a large lizard. I've heard rumors of Colombians being generally more aggressive but I've also witnessed just the opposite. I have a...
Loki passed the impaction and was on his way to recovery. He had some kind of stroke last night and during the emergency visit he had a massive seizure. Sometime after the blood work he passed. The...
Thanks for the links. His humidity is at normal level. I have him in an enclosure so it's easy to control his environment. What I suspect is it happened when I switched his bowl. Loki, being the...
Hello everyone. I'm back again with some bad and good news, I suppose. The shedding issue has resolved itself pretty much. His tail shed is all that is left and more of it comes off every time I put...
Hmmm. Well, my tegu poops at least once every day. Besides getting impacted from his tank substrate, he can also get impacted with hardened urates due to dehydration. What are you temperatures? They...
Hey! I follow you on Instagram. coldbloodedonly if I'm correct. You gave me my first tips on my tegu many months ago. I hope I can watch Wapo grow like I did Chunks. I think Chunks was its name......
Hello everyone. Just an update. I finally got an appointment with him tomorrow. Very big schedule since I start another semester of school tomorrow. I have taken your advice and just today, after a...
I usually don't pull, I rub gently in circles and the flakes just fall off. I only pull if I see it's really loose. I was just using some off brand scentless hand lotion with vitamins in it. I...
Haven't really posted in a long while. My little tegu has grown a ton. But, now my tegu has issues in two areas. Shedding and impaction.
Shedding.
My tegu started shedding way too much. As soon...
Yoshi's pattern is awesome.
Thanks everyone. Wish I knew more about him. The man I got him from claimed he was a breeder, I can't be sure. Loki's too calm to be a wild caught tegu considering I got him at five months though....
Thank you chitodadon. Thank you everyone. I was not aware Loki would receive so many compliments. :)
Thank you lisafoster2510.
Thank you txrepgirl, I hope more of those bluish grey marks come out. Accompanied with his purple-tipped tongue, he is pretty weird. Lol
Thank you laurafl. :)

As Loki grows older, these blue-grey markings become more visible. They are on each side of his back. Hard to see when taken with a camera. Any idea why he might be getting these?...
My tegu is much like the size of female hybrid number three except with a much longer tail as of right now. I'll try to feel for anything when it wakes up. I was told there was no hibernation but I...
Kinda tough since I've never owned one prior to this little one.40554056405740584059
Just as a little tip, reptiles only need 10% of their diet to function, so you can kind of guess how many days your tegu can go before trying to consume your hand. My tegu gets stubborn sometimes, he...
Good thing you mentioned that. I totally forgot about chemicals being on the shirt. I suppose you could wear a sweater and hold your tegu close to your body. Though my tegu never says still.. :/
I have a tegu named Loki as well. I want to put some plants in his enclosure, but he does the same thing your Loki does. He jumps around the enclosure, digs everything up, and since he hates water,...
