    Is hardwood mulch safe?

    Thanks for the reply. Stores in my area only seem to carry the cypress mulch blend, and on top of that supposedly it is not a sustainable resource. I haven't done extensive research on the subject, but I have heard/read that the cypress forests along the coast are somewhat at risk. I'm hoping...

    To those who have built a custom enclosure..

    In hindsight, what about your build perhaps was less than optimal either for the tegu or for your convenience? What features are you really glad you included or proved to be very useful? Perhaps your build is fully functional, but you built it on a budget. How would your build differ if at...

    How can I discourage Tegu biting?

    My new tegu was fed inside the enclosure, hand fed, and fed live prey sometimes. He has never tried to bite out of aggression or defense, and has never seemed scared of me. However, I discovered that he will try and bite hands and fingers (especially if they are in his enclosure). After being...

    Having trouble getting 110 degrees

    I'm using a stone (not sure what type but there are no sharp edges) for my power sun spot - it's pretty thick so it gives some elevation. The zoomed spot uses a log that came with my cage but half of the spot is also just the cypress mulch. Jstew: I will look into getting a second small bulb...

    Having trouble getting 110 degrees

    Hello all, I am having trouble getting a hot enough basking spot for my new 9 month old b/w. I am using a powersun 160w that is about 19-20 inches away from the surface and a used 50w zoo med basking lamp that is about 10 or 11 inches away from the surface. The powersun spot gets to the high...
