If anything new happens I'll update, she got a good soak so I'll be aiming leaving her alone again for a few days with the exception of (hopefully) getting her medicine on her scale. Fun fact, those head scale plates grow back! I was worried the scale plate wouldn't grow back but seems it's...
So, little update, she's got into what I'm going to refer to as "tegu attack mode" she has never been anything other than sweet as pie other than the first two weeks where I got a few tail whips and a threat to bite but when given the chance never did. After those couple weeks never again..until...
Kk I didn't do anything with her Sunday or Monday in hopes she'd calm down. Did snuggle up with her tonight, was hoping I could coax her into eating since she sometimes likes to beg for my dinner :p but did get her a little tote hide/lay box/cool hide that I'm hoping she likes. Maybe a mini...
Well I dropped it to 75 on the cool side for 5 days or so and saw no difference, you mean lower temp then that? Her enclosure is on a cement floor so I get hesitant about dropping it to much since under the substrate can get pretty chilly(the floor around the enclosure is 68f. I did try...
Just concerned with the lack of eating especially. That and her claws are so worn down, but I have tomorrow off as well as fri-sun so I'll try and try to keep an eye on how many hours she's doing what activity. The vet said she looked fine and not to worry, and if she just slept I wouldn't...
Well it's 80amient on the cool side, if I dig into the substrate deep in there it's 73-75f depending on the area. Also she has some hides, I was advised to put a big "lay box" In her enclosure, worst case it's an extra huge hide she may enjoy. But do you mean to force her into a hibernation?
I...
Opposite of what? The enclosure hasn't changed since when she I suppose you could call it semi hibernated for 2-3weeks.
The substrates deep enough that she can completely burrow under. I actually dropped down the temps for a few days to see if that's help and ran it 75cool and basking spot...
My female is 11 months old and 3ft long, when I got her she had already lost her green head. However I've noticed the past few weeks she's getting a green shimmer on her head. There's nothing green in her enclosure and I've given her multiple soaks and tried rubbing, but it definitely seems to...
It could be, the kid who had her seemed to spend some time with her outside the enclosure, she wasn't feral, but she did have some odd aggression and there were quite a few things in his care that disagreed heavily with the research I had done(she was fed just eggs and pinkies, also the whole...
Also forgot to mention, I did get her with some cage aggression since the kid that had her before me would just reach in and pull out of the substrate without even waking her up first. (he even tried to advice me to be quick otherwise she can turn on you). So I had to spend the first month or so...
Since this is behavior related I'll try and give some backstory. I've wanted an Argentina black and white for years, have quite a bit of reptile experience including more advanced species like red foots. Finally broke down and got a 6 month old female towards the end of June. She was about...
I'm going to try and make a new thread, just been at work and haven't had a chance. But basically long story short is when she gets out to roam around for awhile she goes from puppy dog to wild wannabe. The other day she figured out how to open her enclosure on her own, so we put in a heavy duty...
Been creeping on this site for a couple of years and finally back at the end of June I picked up a 6month old Argentina black and white tegu female who I named Maya. She's been growing like a beast (6inch to over 2 ft). I had a couple of questions so I wanted to come on and get some advice from...
