I know hardly anyone comes here anymore, but not sure where else to ask.
Before anyone jumps on me, I did NOT breed my tegus. This is a rescue.

It seems nowadays that less and less people come to these forums. I used to make a post and it would be on the second page by the next day. Now, posts that I make weeks or months ago is only a few...
I have now kept tegus for about 10 years and am no stranger to their care. I have had no problems in the past introducing tegus to each other and know about size differences, neutral territory etc. I...
I remember after Bert passed away that some kid bought the whole thing. Just wondering if they were still around as their website is gone. That's where my first tegu came from.
Do people still think it is proper to add cod liver oil into the ground meat? I ask because it was Bobby Hill who started the whole trend, but since then he has lost credibility and there is even...
May I ask what caused the multiple impactions in your tegus? Was it some substrate you were using?
I just think that its been so long perhaps leaving him alone isn't enough. My syrian hamster hated me right off the bat, but now loves me after I discovered that he could be easily bribed with...
I have never owned an albino before. I am curious as to how they hold up health wise. I have read, but do not know that, albino animals which need uvb can be a problem because the lack of melanin...
I know there are people out there on both sides of the argument, but this post is for people like myself who know that tegus and many other reptiles have feelings, recognise their owners, show...
Mine didn't shed this past winter either, He shed a couple weeks after he got up just fine.
For all the 'gus I have ever owned, the body always shed first, and the tail sheds some weeks later. It is normal for this to happen unless you have some other reason to suspect something is wrong....
This is something I am surprised to read. As the regulars (txrepgirl, laurafl etc.) here know, I have kept my black and white tegu since 2005/6. I also had two reds which I kept the same way (the...
What were you trying to achieve in the first place? If it was ok to pick her up before and handle her, what more did you want?
Not sure where to get those kind of stones. Do you know if cement or concrete is better or worse? What about granite? I have yo stick to what I can get.
How about the distance between light bulb...
I am going to make a new basking platform as for some reason the one I have now with ceramic tile doesn't "hold heat" well, and makes me need high wattage bulbs (3 bulbs in cluster) to get the...
Sorry to bring up an old thread.
Txrepgirl, when you say your tegus after a few days not eating anything you didn't see them for months. So, after eating once and not eating a few days, did they...
How do you usually judge if it is time to stop feeding or not for you.
How does one know if he is in brumation or is only in pre brumation? And if in pre brumation do you guys still feed him?
Well in your case since he is slowing down I don't see what you are worried about exactly? he's eating but also passing feces right? Is he sleeping all day?
No mine hasn't shed recently.
He has a fold. He has pooed regularly before the last meal. His stomach feels empty. I am sure you can tell if his stomach is RELATIVELY empty, but what I mean is that last little bit. In fact, since...
Well I am basically doing everything you have said in the last part, except the mineral oil. I do not want to administer mineral oil without mixing into food for various reasons.
The temperatures...
He pretty much sleeps all day. He woke up today for a while but no he did not poop, he did not bask. He walked around and I sprayed his mouth with some water which he drinks, then he peed, as usual....
Did Yoshi eat a lot before going into brumation? What did he eat and how much? And he woke up with no problems whatsoever even with the food in there?
Was it still warm when he first went under?...
I've been soaking him in warm water every day pretty much and all he does is pee
Txrepgirl,
He doesn't come out but he has eaten a rat for the last meal and he hasn't pooped yet and I have waited and waited and it's been 10 days now. He has gone into brumation with food in his...
