I acquired mine at an exotic reptile expo in my city. :) They had two Tegus there. A male Argentine, and a female Argentine, when I got there at the end of the day, the female was only left so I snagged her.
So after doing some research. I think I may just buy one outright. Now I have a whole other thing to research, from whom to buy the custom cage. The four I am looking at are Animal Plastics Cages, Monster Cages, Vision Cages, and Boamaster Cages.
Do any of you know the pros and cons of each in...
I checked the temps with a digital thermometer. And I have his basking spot at 102 with The original basking lamp I originally bought, and the MVB. I'm just worried she is getting too much UVB, I don't want to burn her.
Thank you, I figured it was, but I was unsure because of her temperment. I am trying hard to tame her, but all day today when I went into the room, she would go into her hide. She doesn't like me :(
I realize he was shedding in this picture, his set up wasn't the greatest heat/UVB/humidity wise. Now I have all of those and my numbers are spot on. :)
I know this question has been asked millons of times, and I am sorry. I would just like some help identifying her. I paid for an Argentine. I think it's an Argentine, but I want your opinions.
I know the some differences between them, scales, temperment, etc..
Well, she has the scales on her...
No I do not, I could order one online, for 25 bucks plus shipping, and shipping would be expensive as I am in Canada. The guy at my local pet store is familiar with Tegu's and he has been giving me advice also. He said he would order a temp gun for me. He also said that I should not feed it...
So it seems to be working ok. I'm going to get a better thermomater soon. The temp in the middle of the tank is 80. This is in between the basking spot, and the cool side of the tank with her water. I am using a 160 watt Sun Glo MVB by Exo-Terra. The only one I could find, any of you using this...
I have the power sun 160 also. It was the only one I could find in my city. I have a 50 gallon tank...so.....I don't know how high to put it. If I put it too high, the basking temps won't get high because the light is to spread out, won't they?
