Appreciate the input Josh! I've been keeping his diet steady at what it's been, and even though he always seems hungry, he is putting on size/girth just as I expect he should. I try to feed him enough that the "fold" along his side goes almost completely away every day. I believe that's a good...
Mine is about a year and a half old, closing in on 2 years. Puberty is such a thing. He's been a royal pain in the rear on some days, and absolutely awesome the others. Supposedly this happens to a good amount during this last year of growth, then when they're full size they settle down. I...
My tegu's diet really picked up in the past couple weeks, and I don't really remember reading anything about serving sizes. Up until about a month ago, there was always a little leftover meat on his plate, or the last mouse I'd offer would take a little coercion. Now he devours everything I give...
He previously did have his own tiny little bedroom. With a space to crawl around that cage that was maybe 8 feet long by 2 feet wide. I moved closer to work, and it's a 1 bedroom, open layout. So his cage is in the back of the living room. I want to let him roam the living room, but he has a...
I'm weary of letting him roam my apartment right now. Waiting for him to go back to his regular bathroom routine, so I don't have to clean any messes off my carpet, or worse, the light tan couch. I take him into the bathroom to roam occasionally, though it usually means being trapped in a small...
So my tegu woke up a few weeks ago, and has been a nuisance since. I'm guessing it's his "teenage years" but who knows. His new cage has the slanted front, which he decided means to jump straight up into the plexiglass to scare the **** out of everyone in the room. He usually does this when he...
My mom's boyfriend built it for me, and came up with that idea. It makes for a very nice looking display but the door doesn't open flush with the wall of the cage. Little awkward working inside it, but it's doable.
Overall cost for the cage was $350. The lighting(fixtures+lights) and...
I know I posted this in my other thread, but wanted to share some better pictures.
Cage is made of 3/4" plywood, sealed with Drylok Extreme and waterproof caulking. Put one thin coat all around, brushed a second thicker coat all around, then rolled a few more very thick layers along the area...
So he ended up spending until last night in the tote. Painting and caulking took longer than I anticipated. He was sleeping the whole time though, so it wasn't bad. Getting him out was much easier than getting him in. Inside of the cage hasn't changed from the last one, but here's a few...
Awesome, exactly what I thought and wanted to be reassured about. My girlfriend said went to the bathroom in his water dish, and is back in his hide and won't come out. I think he just wanted to warm up, get his deed done, and go back to sleep.
Ill post back this weekend after the move with...
Long story short, I move in two days. Just found out less than a week ago. I have a new cage being built, that will need until Friday for the Drylok to dry, and then dirt/lighting go in. I had plans to keep my tegu in a large camping tote, since he was hibernating. But this morning he decided it...
Can't comment on boaphile, but before you come across boamaster looking up cages like I did, don't even bother. That guy is a joke. Sent me a cage missing the front panel/door, everything else dented and chipped. Then sent me another cage, with the wrong top, and again dented and chipped...
Yeah my guy thinks the tape measure is a toy. Tries chasing it every time I take it out. I gave up measuring him, rough estimates are good enough hahah.
He didn't come out yesterday at all, maybe he finally went to sleep.
