    Where could you find the specifics on what amounts of different nutrients tegus need as they grow?

    New argentine arrived with mouth issues, help!

    That's the only problem with mail order pets. My wife and I breed ball pythons and a number of different lizard species and the only way we will buy or sell all our hatchlings is in person so we know what we're getting and so does the customer. I'm sorry they lied to you but it's not uncommon...

    Just adopted my first tegu

    Yes the tank is temporary, for taming purposes right now cuz like I said before, he is WILD. Not to mention how sharp his claws are, they remind me of a falcons talons. I'm in the process of getting a 8'H x 4' x 4' enclosure for him, I found a screen one online for $100. I've only got the male...

    Columbians and hibernation?

    Do columbian tegus hibernate? I read somewhere that they don't and want to make sure before jumping to any conclusions.

    Just adopted my first tegu

    The only blues I've found on the net were in pairs for some odd reason since they are solitary animals. They only have at most 5 eggs and the incubation period is 6 months. I believe they are pregnant with eggs almost 3 months, so your looking at 8-9 months of just a gestation period basically...

    Just adopted my first tegu

    Actually we got him at S&S in Houston for $350. They have a green one but it looks very sickly, worse than what mine looked like when I bought him. The owners of S&S actually gave us a store credit for the $650 vet bill we incurred from him being so ill when we bought him. They have some amazing...

    Baby wont eat except crickets!!

    I agree but with all the reptiles my wife and I have we always worry. I've got 6 lizards and she has 5 ball pythons and a rainbow boa. She has a tiger morph, an xanthic, lemon blast, spider, and a reg ball python but I stay home and take care of all the animals, including the 6 dogs and one cat...

    Just adopted my first tegu

    The hide she is on is bout 14 inches long and 10 inches wide, but u can see from the pic of her on my arm she is still a baby. She's very docile and calm, she'll even climb up on my shoulders and go to sleep behind my head while I sit on the couch.

    Just adopted my first tegu

    This is my blue tree monitor, Beast. They were just discovered in 2001 and there is practically no info on them anywhere. I've found very few articles related to either the green or blue tree monitor The green tree monitor was discovered in 1833 on the same island as the blue. An island called...

    Just adopted my first tegu

    No, it's an Argentine b&w about 16 inches long. I figure she is 3-4 months old but not sure. Someone dropped her off at a local pet store and they know we adopt all types of reptiles, so they called us to see if we would take her and I did. She is very tame, just having a hard time getting her...

    Baby wont eat except crickets!!

    Good idea and thanks for the input. Any ideas are a huge help right now. I just wanna make sure she's getting enough protein since she is so young and small.

    Baby wont eat except crickets!!

    Yes I do have the food list that was posted on here. Just thought I would try the canned just for something different. I'm just not sure if she's old enough to start eating meat and fruit and thought I would try a few different things. She'll lick at it to taste it but wont actually eat it as...
