    The free tegu contest begins. :)

    What an incredibly cool thing to do!! I'm fortunate to own two teggies of undetermined origin and love my "scaly puppy dogs" to bits and pieces. I would LOVE to have another, but am not going to enter. This could be a great opportunity for a young herp lover to get a dream pet they couldn't...

    I'm a Grandmother at age 14!!!

    Sugar gliders are very easy to obtain in CA. Look in the Greensheet, on Craigslist and ask your local mom & pop pet store. I knew many people in CA who owned them. Ferrets are illegal there too, but there are an estimated 500,000 in the state!!! Back on topic: congratulations granny!!! What an...

    Wondering about the tegu in Bobbys MBD video

    Is she suffering? Or can she live a happy life with someone who is willing to give her the proper care?

    I got bit

    Youch!! Hope it feels better soon!! I've had the displeasure of a nice bite too... the new guy. I opened the tank to take him OUT to feed him, but he didn't want to wait, so jumped 2' andnchomped down on my middle two fingers. Then HELD ON!! LOL, the initial chomp was like the slam of a car...

    Supplement Confusion !!!!!!!!!!

    Are supplements really necessary at all? If the proper diet is given, and they are healthy and eat well, shouldn't they get enough of what they need from their food? Since I've put my tegus outside in the natural sunlight, I haven't given them any supplements. Their diet is hugely varied and...

    Custom enclosures

    I know... for the most part, this is a great place. As will all boards of this type though, some of the younger posters feel the need to "call people out" before finding out the facts, rather than ask questions first. In time, they will learn "board etiquette" and wait until they know facts. I...

    Custom enclosures

    I checked this thread to bump it up and lower the prices because we really need to get rid of these things. Your assumptions and comments are really hurtful. It's fine to ask questions, but please don't judge until you have definitive answers to your concerns. 1. The chameleon's tank was being...

    Impulse Buy...

    Glad you got it!! There should be a disclaimer with every T purchase... you simply cannot have just one. I've had 200 at one time, but had to get rid of most of my collection for the big move from CA to TX. I was down to 36, but have been making up for lost time!!! :-D And to think, it all...

    B. smithi is a highly desireable species. Great display and relatively docile. I would defiinitely keep her. You really can't have TOO many tarantulas, and they fit easily into a small space. :-D

    8'x8' of outdoor fun!

    K, mine is VEWWWY basic and not at all pretty, but boy do my teggies and monitor LOVE it! (Pic taken before substrate added so you can ee the chicken wire stapled to the botton.) One HUGE problem though, all the fresh air and sunshine has made the male tegu very "randy"... but he's after the...

    LOL! Her full name is Brutus Maximus, but since she's a SHE, we'll just drop the Maximus!!!
