    I have about 40 5 to 7 oz packs of ground venison. It was from last season fall 2012/winter 2013, I thought my Tegus would eat more than they did. I feed it to my Tegus at least 3 or 4 days a week. Its very lean. If you are in the Washington DC area and can pick up please let me know, I really...

    Orangey markings on Black and White !?

    melamine cage

    Tegus require high humidity. I would not use it. It tends to break down after a while and once the moisture gets behind the coating the particle board sucks up the water and ruins the board. Makes for nice looking cages, but I feel the durability may not live up to a Tegus environment and...

    fresh drylock question

    I put 2 or 3 coats of drylok or all inside surfaces. You will not need to use silicone. The drylok waterproofs the cage.
