    Taming help

    From My experience I would say these animals are a shy and reclusive reptile that are happy just in their own company ... also upto about 2 I would say they are still juvenile and extra flight motivated ..... just keep going and I'm sure it will come round and trust you

    Thoughts and Ideas on hiding tegu?

    Hi .... Viv looks great .... I think generally tegus are lazier than most people think.... The only think I can suggest for you is to play around with humidity and temps.... 80% humidity sounds a little high to have on daily constantly.... 110-135 also sounds high to me , mine is a Colombian...

    After having AA for 5 years I decided I wanted to expand on my reptiles... but rather than going the traditional way of choosing animals, I've chosen my area (Colombia/ northern south America) and I'm building a bigger cohabitation enclosure..... and right about now I bet you're thinking NO NO...
