    Red tegu for adoption SoCal

    Well, I'm probably moving into an apartment next month so I won't have room to keep Srbosjek. He comes with the cage I built for him and all the lighting. It's 7.5'x4'x4' and built strong enough to have a bed on top of it (I did use it as a bed for a while with no problems) It was made to be...

    Propogating plants for my tegu's enclosure

    You say that but if the plants are in there from now while he's young, when he's older, they will just be there and they won't be something new to play with. Also, the Snake plants are really tough, hard and kind of pointy which would dissuade him from bother them too much and the pothos are...

    Propogating plants for my tegu's enclosure

    I have a few plants in my tegu's cage right now and I'm attempting to propogate them by cuttings. I have 1 pothos and 2 snake plants with 3 snake plants rooting and 1 other pothos rooting. This thread is to show off and give others ideas. The blue bulbs are plant genie minis which I found at the...

    constipation pinworms

    Try offering softboiled eggs. Possiby with the whites still slightly runny. My tegu seems to find them even more appetizing than hard boiled.

    FOUND!!! Cypress mulch out west! CHEAP!!!

    I live in Southern California and the warehouse my local Ace gets supplies from doesn't carry the cypress mulch.

    Tegu breathing hard?

    It's just a very small amount of lighter colored wood and I think he might have been mad at me. I was playing in the mulch and after an hour, he calmed down but I kept doing it and I think he might have just mad at me for being too close to him for too long.

    Tegu breathing hard?

    No, it just says forest bark but it looks red like cypress but with a few lighter colored pieces mixed in that might be pine or similar wood.[hr] It also looks a bit like orchid bark which is fine, too.

    Tegu breathing hard?

    It looks like my tegu is breather really hard like he's sucking his stomach in really deep. The temperature on the cool side is around 80 degrees and the humidity is around 60% and he's on "Decorative Forest bark" from the hardware store and peat moss. Is there something in the forest bark...

    Keeping enclosure cool

    Eh, the tegu is new so he's been hiding most of the time and the last 2 days, I've been at school all day. Another week and I'll be out of school so I can really start working on getting him used to me and taming him. He's in his adult enclosure already so it's plenty big. 8'x4'x4'

    Keeping enclosure cool

    Oh, it feels cold inside in the summer. I live in the Sonoran Desert in southern california right on the arizona border. (Closer to Phoenix, AZ than anywhere else) It can get well over 120 degrees in the summer ambient temp. The temperature of the cement is way higher. Maybe 150-160. xD I tried...

    I made my own co2 chamber!

    You wouldn't want to turn it up all the way for a humane death... The trick is to put enough in so they starve for oxygen just enough that they pass out, then you turn it up so that it then suffocates them. CO2 content is what's registered in the lungs, not the lack of oxygen. They used to...

    Keeping enclosure cool

    Alright, I've been noticing an issue of keeping the enclosure cool enough. It seems to be getting over 90 degrees in there when there isn't a fan on (fan burned out sometime today and I put another one in just now). How can I keep the enclosure cooler as my house is kept at a constant 80...

    Fire safety

    I was thinking a plastic fluorescent bulb cover but then I realized that it stops UV rays... Which is bad.

    Live Plants

    Hm... I kind of wrote off trees when looking at the lists but if you trimmed a tree right, it could probably be turned into more of a small bush with a hard trunk.
