It looked red a day or two ago, now it is white. I also thought maybe a burn but both my bulbs are 12" or more away from the spot and I thought if it was hurting her she would move out of the light?...

It looked red a day or two ago, now it is white. I also thought maybe a burn but both my bulbs are 12" or more away from the spot and I thought if it was hurting her she would move out of the light?...
Yoshi was doing this a couple days ago! I was confused by it because she gets enough uvb I have a uvb bulb and a MVB that gives uvb and basking for when she basks because I know that light doesn't...
This wasn't as bad a week ago before she started shedding. But I noticed a weird circular spot on Yoshi's back and it started to concern me but I decided to wait it out and see if it healed. I have...
She looks really sweet. I hope recovery goes well for her.
I don't think there would be since she is hibernating right now and I feed her outside of the cage usually. Unless there are ants running around under the dirt near her and shes eating them while...
So without my knowledge someone put an ant trap near Yoshi's cage, the kind that they eat and carry back to the colony and spread throughout to kill all the ants. Well there is a colony I think...
Every tegu is different, they really do have preferences when it comes to food and you have to discover your tegu's preferences. My tegu Yoshi loves cherries and fruits but wont touch any greens or...
Thank you for the more in depth explanation. Her being female is a pleasant surprise and I'm going to double check for beads again when she gets up one last time before full hibernation. I've never...
This is something I know a decent amount about but I feel for the beads underneath I cannot find them and Yoshi will never hold still long enough for me to feel them or find them. I am starting to...
Really? I understand the need for moderation because its the same as humans. Too much water will kill you, as will not enough water. So is one 4' 10.0 Repti glo uvb bulb enough for my tegu in a 7x3x3...
Yes I see it now that does make a lot of sense.
Well anyways hope he is doing well
All that for that lol, not that I disagree with anything said or that it wasn't important. Just thought it was funny that it all came down to enough UVB which seems to always be the problem.
I hope everything goes well and he has a speedy recovery!
On a side note, that second picture I have a couple questions about. I know you said he lost two nails because of circulation but how come...
How wide is the door? I would think making the enclosure 2' wide wouldn't be that big of a deal just have it longer.
Okay awesome I just wanted to be sure this was all normal behavior. Very glad to hear others do the same thing.
This.
A lot can happen when you dump a lot of dirt/moss in a big area and bump up the temperature(from heat lamps) and humidity. And then theres the problem of UV lighting which you would have to...
Be careful with glossy paint. You dont want the lights reflecting off it and hurting their eyes. I got worried when I had Yoshi in his first cage when he was a baby because the inside was glossy and...
He is in a 7x3x3 cage, humidifier is set to turn off at 75% humidity but I usually only run it when he is out and about above the surface of the ground. The hot side gets to be about 95 F and when it...
Okay so this happened last year before Yoshi went down for brumation/hibernation and it worries me everytime. He has not shed now for probably a little over a month. And if this is like last year he...
They fly, I think they are fruitflies as you described. Mainly because I have a colony of dubia roaches also and sometimes I feed them fruit and forget to take them out. I'm going to leave these bugs...
I dried out the soil as best I could, but it seems I now have gnats all in my room. I cannot see many white bugs anymore but there are numerous gnats in his cage now...I do not mind the tiny little...
I really hated having it that high. The only reason I have had it up more than usual was because he was having a really hard time with some shed on his tail. I was giving him daily baths and raising...
Thank you for the information. It's nice to know someone else has some knowledge on these things, I could not figure out enough to keep myself from worrying from just the internet. I'll keep an eye...
I just noticed lots and lots of small white round insects crawling throughout the soil in my tegu's enclosure. I recently changed all the dirt after it had been in there for a year and it was drying...
Anytime! And so far drylok has worked great for me. I literally sprayed down the walls with water and I have an automatic humidifer that kept the humidity up to 75% and I haven't had any problems at...
