Generally vomiting will be the result of cold or excessive handling. Does he have a heat pad within his tank? As burrowers tegus need to have the belly heat to properly digest their food and to...
Has your vet had a lot of experience treating reptiles and exotic pets? I'm currently working with a Frilled Dragon who's undergoing very similar problems - he's grown lethargic, barely eats, has...
(1) I think we should have a Caiman Lizard SubForum :P
(2) Since there is so little information out there for Caiman Lizard I figured I'd share any and all experiences I happen to have with mine. ...
I've been doing more and more research on it and am seriously thinking about switching to this. Needless to say, my collection while not being numerically large is really large when it comes to fecal...
Morning Matt! I responded to your mother on the Facebook Page but figured I'd pop over here to fill you in on some details too. Most likely you probably just scared him, if there's a lot of tail...
Be sure to keep feeding her according to size. One of the biggest problems I deal with with my customers who have red tails is that they don't feed them adequately because they don't want them to...
I'm in New Hampshire and A LOT of my customers are coming in with reports of their Bearded Dragons starting to brumate already..... weird winter. My female has slowed down, one male is down for the...
This probably isn't across the board, but my female is WAY more fun then my males. She's more outgoing and the boys just like to lay around. Remington has always had a little more of a personality...
So, I did it again. I get sucked right in at those reptile expos and at $200 I couldn't leave this darling behind! Meet "Shakespeare" the third tegu in the home. He's a sweet big boy who's been...
Mine's only 3 feet wide and they have adequate space for a heat gradient from front to back. Don't despair -- with only 2 feet to move around may an Argentine or Giant Tegu isn't the case for you. ...

Here's our yearling black throat monitor and I hanging out at the shop. Unlike tegus, I've found that Black Throats are extremely owner conscientious and they rarely stray far from their...
I don't know why the breeder would recommend coco husk coarse over eco earth for impaction reasons. I use a combination of Eco Earth and Cypress Mulch for all of my tegus and recommend the same for...
Paypal is by far the best way to deal with anything reptile sales related! I hope Paypal helps everyone out!
I once got charged 4 times for a $350 ball python by the seller and he didn't want to do...
Is he not going to honor your deposit at all? Is he rolling them over to next year's clutches? This is really sad to me. :( Now that Agama and Sisco are out of the game he was the only original...
Hey JohnyB! Welcome to the forum and thank you for providing pictures. I'm sorry this thread seemed to turn into a back and forth nitpick fight, hopefully the moderators can clean that up for you so...
I used standard plywood for mine and deck sealed it. The bottom is also tiled to withstand the humidity levels. I hope you enjoy the new little guy ;) - Dez
I don't know if there's anyone who can help out on this one, but my Caiman Lizard hasn't eaten for about the past week. Usually he engorges to the point that I have to take food away from him and...
Update! Thank you for all of your input. He's been in a 0 humidity enclosure and chapsticked for 'sensitive skin' and is now doing wonderful. We got a couple chunks of shed off today and it's...
Thank you Tupinambis - so essentially these particular tegus may just have 'sensitive' skin? Does that mean the after care for this individual tegu may be different then the general population? He...
36x18x24 - 100W Powersun - Paper Towel Substrate (Cleaned and Sanitized 2x/day) - Humid Hide Box - UTH - 95 degree basking spot
** Note - everytime he clears up we placed eco-earth and cypress...
Here are some photos - it's a pain to see, but this is the color he is all the time and when combined with him shedding it's near impossible to keep his skin from cracking and bleeding.

They are from the same supplier and I chalked it up to that in the beginning. Contamination is definitely something to wonder about and they may have had a score of them, but we've gotten six (2...
How 'new' is he considered? Some tegus have taken up to a month to get really comfy in their environments and really take to their new homes.
Also, what wattage is your PowerSun? It might be...
Hey Guys! So, they've been coming out with some crazy new diets for carnivorous reptiles these days. Repashy has come out with the Meat Pie, which is a just-add-water gel for monitors and tegus and...
