I know this isn't too terribly helpful but I know there's pet insurance for odd pets like rabbits, so there should be for reptiles. I wish I knew where it came from though, sorry.

What it was before (not now at least) was that I left him in the bathroom and left the room to do laundry and such. When I went back about 30 min later after he'd eaten and pooped he just kept...
That's a nice setup there, Renji is very lucky. Thanks for sharing the pics!
Mostly I've just been concerned because he'd been jumping to claw out of the wire mesh lid and he was hurting himself. I finally had my day off and spent it grabbing him every time he did it and...
That's certainly a cute little fella, any idea how old he is now? Is that his permanent tank or are you going to add mulch for him to bury in?
So apparently Jabba isn't doing as well as I'd thought in his new home. He went from super calm to actively aggressive. He now sees the bathroom as 'his territory' and when I go in he rushes me. At...
Best idea I can come up with is to buy one of those outside pad things that make it seem like the outdoors is in your apartment.
First question, do you intend to breed them? Because if you are, then she'll get very aggressive for a while towards everyone, male and you included. If you aren't intending to breed them, then...
I think she only threw away about $45 worth of lizard food, so Jabba had been getting fish, chicken, eggs and the tegu bites in the mean time. He didn't seem to mind though.
Jabba is a year and a half old now, and for some reason he only looks blue when he gets upset. And he only really gets upset that I've seen when he wants out of his tank and I won't let him, but that...
Keeping a rat in a donut box will get your tegu to try and eat donuts... so not good for them. Also, most of us here feed thawed rats/mice to avoid violent feeding responses like what your vid...
OMG that's a scary thought, that's certainly reason to stay out of Florida if it's true. Do you have a link?
Aw! Love the one with the gecko on his back!
Aw, those two are just adorable! Akeem sounds like a great name for the little guy, and I love Apple's name. Too funny!
I went to the pet store today, found out I'm actually still pretty close (thank god) and got some mice since tat's her favorite food. I would have offered her some earlier but the ex's psychotic...
He's adorable! Especially with the little bit of turkey on his head. Awesome looking enclosure too. He should grow up to be a pretty mellow fellow. (That wasn't meant to rhyme or sound stupid, it...
One way I've found to raise humidity is to lie some kind of cloth over any area not near your heat lamp/uvb lamp. I've never used aspen mulch before, but I do know that cypress holds moisture very...
No, she's not coming up at all.
I'd get the 40 gal tank, even if he does outgrow it, it won't be too fast I don't think. And you still want to be able to get to your tegu, but if there's too much room he'll always just run and...
As long as you keep the basking lamp nearby he should get enough exposure. It's close enough to where your tegu will be basking given the amount of mulch you intend to put down right?
Jabba is exploring his new home! And don't worry, those are tegu bites I ordered online when someone wouldn't eat damn near anything, I use it to add to their meal, not as a stand alone.
Welcome to the forum, beautiful tegus you have there!
Hm, does anyone know how long I should wait before getting concerned? She's still not even getting up.
I want to give her time to calm down but at the same time, she hasn't eaten in almost 2 weeks.
A lot of the newer popular dog/cat foods are made with simple ingredients anyone can understand instead of something like 'avian byproduct' (which by the way can mean roadkill legally, not saying all...
If you keep your free roam to a smaller area, and you said he was going up to you when you sat with him, just let him. Pull out a book or your computer or something and relax. If you do pick your...
