    Free roaming preparations?

    It can work you just got to set it up and if something is not working, change it or fix it and see if that works. There are mixed views on this subject. People will say no don't do it. It's not good for the tegu health wise. Other people have had great success, I feel I am one of those people...

    Zillas first time outside didnt go so well

    Keep trying. The first time I took Tyson out he was just like that. I waited a week then tried again, but I did not put him on the ground I held him in my lap and he was a lot more calm this that time. I did this about 3x a week for a month just me and him in my lap, then I put him down one day...

    Free roaming preparations?

    You would definetly need to provide the heat and humidity somehow. I let my guy free roam, but he is in my reptile room and he has a 8x4x4 cage that I leave one side open. I have swinging doors on each side. I leave the cool side open for him. He is free to walk around the room , but he can also...

    6x3x3 enclosure?

    The temps sound fine, as far as for the 2 tegus living together I would go at least 12x6x3.

    Green tree python

    I don't have a gtp, but I have 2 amazon tree boas and they are not 100% aboreal like green tree pythons. That being said my male never goes on the ground, my female does. I'm not sure on the size of the gtp at full adult, but I like to be able to let me snakes stretch half their body length...

    Tegu's and other animal's

    Like bubblz said I think it all depends on if they're introduced properly. I did t introduce my gu to my dog until he was 2 yrs old, my dog is only a year old. From my exp my gu has more confidence than he had one yr ago. If your going to do it keep it supervised. And like it was stated before...

    Tegu's and other animal's

    I understand how dexter did what he did being it was a small kitten and it looked liked food. I have a 60 lb shar pei mix who when the lizard is out is more interested in tyson(red tegu) than Tyson is in him. What happens is they meet sniff, Tyson walks away and sim a follows

    Advice about best heating for custom shelf units for snakes

    I'm in the same boat as you. I've been looking into building a rack for my smaller snakes. Flex watt heat tape would be the best way to go. I cannot give advice on setting it up because I am still figuring it out. You tube has alot of good videos on how to set it up. As far as the bottoms go...

    What lizard next?

    I was in the same boat as you, I had an empty cage and wanted to put something in it, although the cage I had wasn't as big as yours. I opted for a pacman frog which is pretty neat they eat like crazy and it was my first time building a frog terrarium which was alot of fun. As I was at the...

    Dating in the reptile world

    I've been lucky with my wife, she puts up with my reptiles but she is in no way an enthusiast. She dosent touch or hold them, but when I was deployed she fed and watered them. Like most people said finding a person that will support your hobbies, goals, aspirations is what matters. People tend...

    Just curious, who's got the biggest gu

    I started the tread to give me an idea of how big different tegus get. And you are right bubblz it's null and void with out some proof of actual measurement next to the tegu. Hopefully people will just tell the truth and not lie about it.
