Very beautiful monitor. I have always been a big fan both monitors and tegus. How's the temperament, is it skittish?
Welcome to the site. That is a very cute tegu you have there. Even if your tegu doesn't seem to drink from the water dish, it is very important to keep a dish in the enclosure with fresh water at all...
My tegu also will not eat cooked eggs, and when I give him raw eggs he loves the yolk and discards the rest. What I do now is separate the raw yolk from the egg white and mix it with cod liver oil...
Congrats on the new snake. I also have a soft spot for pythons and couldn't be happier with my macklots and my jungles carpet pythons. Good luck with yours.
The pics of Jedi were from when he was younger and now he is a little lighter. I will take updated pics of him when I get a chance. He kind of looks like Koopa but does not have the colouration on...
Hi, I also have a 2010 all American tegu. I haven't been on this site in awhile, due to my new job, and lack of time. I was wondering, how big is your tegu? My tegu named Jedi is already 3', and I'd...
I'm glad Tesla ate for you and now you have one less thing to worry about .
Wow.... I don't know what I like more, the enclosure or the lizard. They both look great.
Very nice tegu you have there. How old is he?
I agree with tupinambis, my all american tegu has never showed any signs of slowing down since I got him at the end of august, and my girlfriend's blk/wht tegu really slowed down for about two weeks...
Those are really nice cages, nice job.
I've raised both types from hatchings and I definitely had to spend more time handling the red to get used to human interaction. As far as books go, I've never found any that only cover tegus. There...
That's a very pretty tegu indeed.... can't wait to see more pics of it
Contracts on the new tegu. It's very pretty.
Cool pics... they are both very nice looking lizards.
Such a cute and little tegu you have there
I like the roaches because they don't chirp. I breed dubias and hissers and the hissers only make noise when you disturb them. I also keep crickets around for my smaller pets, but I aways try to...
Welcome to the site. This is a great place to ask questions, offer advice, and share experiences.
Cool that he came out and ate. Your tegu seems to be darker than mine. How's its temperment? My Jedi is really mellow.
Colombians tegus tend to love raw eggs so I would try offering it some mixed with calcium/vitamin powder, and if it eats it I would try dipping different foods in egg until it eats without it.
I've had this problem before with a blk/wh tegu so I bought a shallow rubbermade container that I would place him in and put the UVB fixture directly on top so he has to stay and absorb the rays. I...
Welcome to the site! I also have a 2010 all american tegu which is currently 23"... how big is your a.a. tegu?
When I had mine it was active during the day and bury itself at night. It seemed to enjoy being handlee and would crawl up my arm and rest on my shoulder.
I also have an account if its needed.
