I was handling Solomon today and noticed him excreting this... excrement... from his precloacal pores. Is this normal, or is there something I need to change?
Thanks!

Chitodadon, (I'm only assuming I know what you are trying to say, I also make an effort to use spelling and grammar...) I switched substrate because the old coconut fiber and moss were going bad. ...
He is 2 1/2 feet long total, almost 2 years old. He was still burrowing until a couple months ago when I switched to reptibark mix.
My Colombian tegu has stopped burrowing. Has this happened to anyone else? His substrate is a mix of coconut fiber, reptibark, and peat moss. His basking spot gets to 111 degrees, humidity bottoms...
Thanks! Found 3 total over the last week. Will this continue in his entire adult life, or will it calm down after he matures a bit more?
Also, they have always been seperate from the poo. Is this...
I know it may depend on whether or not he has previously brumated and his growth rate, but when to Colombian tegus generally reach (at least the early stages of) sexual maturity? My guy is just about...
Solomon is about 2 1/2 feet long, weighing about 1 1/2 lbs. I believe he is just over a year and a half old. How much would you guys feed him? I think he's old enough to get regulated diet versus the...
I just wanted to give everyone an update on my Columbian tegu Solomon.
He is just over 2 foot now, and he lives in an 8' by 3' stock tank. He had a forest moss/ coco substrate, but he kept rubbing...
I'm not sure how the UVB is set up with the heat, but be sure to have UVB and heat at the same spot. You do this for 2 reasons-
1. Tegus have to be at a certain body temperature to use the UVB to...
go to your local plant nursery (Here in Wichita, I have Johnson's Garden Center) and ask. They have the same coco fiber as Eco Earth as a soil amendment for much cheaper than you could get at the pet...
I believe he died shortly after getting home with this guy.
I was on Reddit's Herpetoculture subreddit and saw that a major chain store had thrown away a live iguana. Here is a link to the video. Some crude language, but nothing unexpected when finding a live...
I wouldn't use gloves. Although it would protect your hands partially, they have teeth made for piercing and tearing. Gloves also create a barrier between you and Zeus. I have only been bitten twice,...
So, does anyone know how much it would be to get your tegu microchipped? And where would be the best place on the animal?
It sounds like a great idea. I just wonder if I shoudn't wait til he is a...
I just finished making my own. Granted, however, that my tegu is a Columbian. I assume you're getting an Argentine of some variety?
I made mine out of a stock tank. Here, I got a stock tank 8'x3'...
Solomon is just over 2 foot long total, with about 8.8" from nose to vent, and tail length of 1' 4". I don't have a recent weight on him, but the last one I have is over 400 grams, maybe up to 430 or...
I can vouch for Colombians. Even at 6 months or so, I took him on walks (him on my arm, me walking around) while scratching him. If I stopped, he would nudge my hand and lean into me, telling me he...
I was wondering if any of you had used Rep-Cal's product "Herptavite" before. I have a can that was given to me and I was wondering if I could/should use it.
Solomon is finally in his new home, and shed the first day he was there :) however, I notice he seems really pale for a "golden" tegu. The one at the local pet shop is really gold, while Solomon has...
Here are my new babies. I weighed them both last night, and they are a whopping 3 grams each! Their names are Fiyero and Boq.
Can anyone tell me what their morphs are? I was told one (Fiyero) was a...
Solomon's new enclosure is finished. I'll add a few pictures later after I get a 36" fluorescent light bulb for over the polycarbonate. The large rock on the right weighs about 200 lbs. The highest...
The tegu has been at the university since I got him. And he is about to go in his new enclosure tomorrow (will start new thread).
Ambient temp is 85-90 degrees, so too hot for the crested geckos. So...
I am buying two babies tomorrow. They are currently kept in a critter keeper, but I have a 29 gallon tall aquarium planted for after they get acclimated. However, I have a couple of issues.
They,...
Certainly :)
There is just the cluster cuss of the university's AC being off, so they will come home with me for 2 weeks before I can take them to school and put them in their enclosure.
I have a planted viv (29 gal tall aquarium) they will go in eventually, I'm going to acclimate them to the new environment in their current enclosure (the critter keeper) and then move them to the...
