I'd recommend focusing your energy on some variant of the bathtub method, where you just sit in a small enclosed space and let her walk around on you for a long time until she is very comfortable...
Wow dude, you've got your own zoo over there. I think you're going to have a hard time trying to bring more than one animal with you... and even 1 is going to be difficult, possibly very difficult...
Unfortunately we had a little accident and lost some tail =(

Done! Is that a new hairdo (not sure if thats really a word, or what women actually call their hair for that matter) or an old photo btw? I like it.
Mac's the only tegu I have atm, but when I younger a had a pair (male red, female blue) that I raised together from hatchlings. They were fine together until the male got to be about Mac's size, and...
You're welcome, and thanks to you also.
The basking light setup is: 2x 160W Powersun MVB bulbs in a deep-dome dual light fixture. The bulbs are 17 inches from the ground, and surface temp (i use...
Correct, he is entirely free roaming. We have his basking spot setup in a corner/cubby area of the living room, which is where he spends much of the day. Its a 3-sided box (floor + 2 corner walls)...
I just started taking pictures but i figured this was easier than photos + typing.
Short written version: I think he's ok, its just that he's still shedding like once a week because of his insane...

How much time has he spent around the dogs so far? Is it that the dogs are curious of him and come sniff him, and he flips out and bites em? Or is he chasing the dogs around trying to bite em?

Anyone know if cherry pits are toxic to tegus? (a few pits accidentally eaten, not as part of a regular diet)
We've tried giving Mac canned sardines (in spring water, nothing added) but he wouldn't touch them.
He does however love most fish & seafood:
salmon
tilapia
trout
chilean sea bass
uncooked...
Not that it really matters anymore at this point... but interesting to note that no reports have made any mention of anything other than black & white tegus.... unless anyone has any info to the...
wow.... wow.
Mac's doing awesome. He's big enough now he can eat a hard boiled egg all by himself...

He hatched on July 4th and hasn't shown any slowdown since... its just been constant eating since =)
Just hit 45 inches and is about 9lbs now
We finally had a warm day and I was able to let Mac outside again for some fresh air and real sun. He really loves it =)

That sounds like a good plan. I don't think its ever too late, & I've heard of many people who got adult tegus to tame down very well. I'd say keep letting him walk around the bedroom & spend as...
How old and big is Weasley? I think Mac is pretty much at the top end of growth rates, so I wouldn't worry just because a tegu isn't growing as fast as Mac. MacGyver didn't hibernate and he is...
