I would definitely make the basking spot much hotter and look into making some stacks. The idea is to give your captive a range from high to low temperatures so your tegu can choose what it needs. If...

Here's a nice one from Frank Retes of Goanna Ranch.

Feed troughs make excellent enclosure for a variety of reasons. A good deep substrate in a well sealed enclosure will keep humidity much better than a couple inches of wood mulch misted every day. I...
What happened to his neck? I live in SD.
Just spending some time with my little buddy.

Looks like a great tegu. Good Luck.
Melamine is nice. I use Drylok as a sealant. I think my next cage I'm going to use a feeding trough.
I'm a believer in whole prey items when possible. My young tegu loves crickets, mice and superworms. From the research I've been doing in the wild young tegus are largely insectivores much like my...
Interesting thanks for the reply Tupinambis.
Thanks Dana C for sharing that link. Lots of great information there on many questions I've had. It seems like T. Marianae needs much more fruit as adult and i never thought to feed frogs and snails....
Hahaha that was good!
So the other day I was at the San Diego Zoo. Of course my first stop was the reptile house. So I took some pictures and you guys get to name the animal. So what I'm looking for is scientific names...
Thanks to both of you. The videos of Bobby's T. Marianae females nesting reminds me of how alligators make nests that also act like compost heaps and keep the eggs warm and hidden. Laura R did your...
I just noticed the 250 was in pounds not American dollars so I really don't know the English market for tegus so let me revise and say welcome to the wonderful world of tegus.
First off Chriswizz nice purchase. 250 is alot for your typical argentine bw but Suuuuuper cheap for a blue.
Secondly Tupinambis (the poster) is probably the biggest reason I come on this forum....
I'm interested to hear from some of you breeders and researchers about the nesting habits of tegus. From the breeders are you using a special substrate during egg laying? Where do Tegus in the wild...
I use Drylok to seal it's really good and available from every hardware store that i've ever checked. Feed troughs are really good for enclosures and most big time Monitor breeders use them. If you...
Nice Job! That enclosure is sick! What are the final dimensions in the living space? Do you use the bottom parts for storage? I bought my girlfriend her first reptile that happened to be a...
Thanks pinetop. He's really calm and doesn't mind being held.
Messing around with my little black and white tegu named "Croc."

This little guy was hopping around my friend's house near lake Henshaw.

I have two beardies and a tegu. If I was getting another reptile it would be an Ackie. They get around two feet max.
I live in San Diego (PB) even though the weather never changes much the days are becoming shorter and shorter as mentioned by Tupinambis. So yes he has probably noticed the change, I know I have, and...
That was funny he looked spooked like he just figured out he was being watched.
Lol. She's a lucky Tegu to have such a good mom.
