Title may be a bit misleading. I'm FINALLY getting around to building my enclose, it is all in my big brain. I plan to commssion the help of many college kids in return for soda and pizza to...
I think a 5.0 uvb Bulb is more than fine. The Higher the rating on the bulb, the more it sucks the moisture out of a cage. Being that you stated you would have a mesh opening, I'd find a way to rig...
Very Nice! What level of difficulty do you have getting that leash on your tegu?
Trust me I know first hand, Non-sealed Tanks make you sad. My large Black Throat Monitor's enclosure is not water tight, so when I over flood it with water (Simulating rain I swear!) it sometimes...
CoCo Fiber sucks! That stuff is just so messy.... Also I find Cyperess alone isn't too hard for Lizards to dig in. What I like most about it is I can walk by and see the humidity within holding on...
Thanks for the input Ben. Sadly I did give him up to the pet store, in doing so I also found out how they stay in buisness, MASSIVE profit margines on reptiles.
I checked in shortly after giving...
You Tegu owners seem to do really well letting your Tegus free roam. While I have a Monitor, I'd like to try this as well becuase it is pretty chill and I'd like the idea of it. My concern is the...
If you have a spare container or 2 it wouldn't hurt to bring. At the reptile show I went to they had small Tegus in Deli cups, then larger ones in enclosures, there was talk of bagging larget...
Ya, that powersun is kicking ***. It sucks hardcore for creating a basking area, but ambient temp, MY GOD! Even on the bottom where the humidity is 80-99% where the light touches is 90 degrees,...
I too know your plight of small door frames. And I've been thinking of ways to contruct an enclosure to get around it, I keep comming back to splitting it in half becuase I'll be moving soon I'm...
Maybe he wants to eat your cat? Or get back at it for flaunting its freedom!
The Tegu is just adjusting to his new enclosure, checking it out, testing its limits. I would say he will eventually...
Oh man, I was so hoping someone would kinda revive this. I recently went to a pet store that has been getting significantly better each time I visit. This last time I went alot of the Reptiles...
The enclose its self isn't special at all. I got it for 50 bucks on Craigslist, GREAT FIND!
I did some work to it to make parts of it I felt weren't very water resistant, water resistant, mounted my...
Damn, when I heard about that bill I looked it up right away to make sure it didn't pass. It just included a ton of stuff about how it shouldn't pass, but no dates of it actually passing. Tough...
Fun Fact: Florida is God's second Chance state. It is where old poeple go to die, Convicts go to start over, Cubans go to get away, and Bush went to win that election.
Sorry to say, but the Tegu...
Hey, I'm having issues with my Black Throats.
One is doing divinely IMO. It is the 'smaller' one, she is eating like a champ, knocked down 2 mice today, and other before that. She chills out in...
What are you feeding it? I recently have had this issue with my Columbian Rainbow Boa. She finally started eating again when I threw a mouse in there instead of a rat. Have you been holding it?...
I'm going to side with your boyfriend on this. While roaches are easier and better in the long run. The idea of them potentially getting out and then having free roam of my home is too much to...
Personally, I think he is just ill informed and/or cheap. That sounds like the same logic vegans use for not eating red meat saying it makes you aggressive....which it does to a mild extent, but not...
That is about right, when they get larger you can move up to the pinkies and fuzzies, then turkey balls. I personally have yet to prepare a turkey ball any of my lizards will eat, think I mix too...
Wow man, that is Fantastic, it looks so professional and shiny, so very shiny!
How long did that beast of an enclosure take to make? also how much planning went into it?
*starts playing the Jurrassic Park Music*
Those are some mighty fine Tegus you have them, I especially like the last pic with all those guys swarming the plate, reminds me of the little dinos that...
I am totally not the right person to answer this but I can give you a good streamlined version so you know what your getting yourself into to try.
First off you need a Male and a Female, then some...
Ya, part of the point was not to make sence, but be entertaining. BUT! I'm procrasination on a paper so I give you:
Enclosure inside an enclosure, inside and enclosu right next to an enclosure! ...
