    take the zilla light back, they are garbage & can be deadly (they produce such low level UVB it's borderline UVC which and harm them on the DNA level)...... get it a zoo-med/fluker/exo-terra Mercury Vapor Bulb or tube light.
    (i recamend a MVB for babies and tubes/MVB's when they get bigger.)

    Ditto on the Zilla. Full spectrum is not the same as UVB. If it is like this: http://www.zilla-rules.com/products/...cent-bulbs.htm, then it is not putting out UVB. The packages are very misleading. There are heat bulbs that say they put out UVA and long tubes that are full spectrum that say they simulate natural sunlight. But they are talking about a spectrum of visible light and not speaking about UVB.

    OMG. I'm so sorry to hear about your Tegu having this problem. To be honest with you I would take him to the vet as soon as you can. I had ( well still have ) two Tegus that had some MBD ( metabolic bone desease ) problem. Ones was shaking just for a few hours and it never happened again. The other one had it for a while and I had to put him on liquid calcium. But I never seen them with the tounge hanging out. I would get him checked to make sure it's not another reason why he is doing this ( liver or kidney ) falure. I could be wrong. But better save then sorry. I recommend the power sun ( link below ). Please keep us posted. Thank you and good luck with everything.
