    How to keep heat up ?

    Red bulbs shouldn't be used with tegus as it disturbs their sleeping pattern because they can see it and it has been known to cause eye damage and irritation. Powersuns have really poor UV output which is why I suggested the Mega-ray.

    new to tegu talk

    Welcome! Take a look around and check out some of the "stickys" in the sections. I'd say most importantly, getting an proper WOOD enclosure set up with temps and humidity tested and a freezer full of food BEFORE bringing home your new buddy is incredibly important! :) There are some great...

    I just don't find this adorable at all. Its irresponsible, dangerous, and completely unnatural.

    How to keep heat up ?

    Well the tank is your biggest issues. Tanks are for fish or rodents and don't make good reptile enclosures, especially for a species that has high heat and humidity requirements. I would suggest to start building your permenant enclosure asap, custom wood built, allowing for deep substrate and...

    Regurgitation??

    What is your basking temperature and are you using a temp gun to measure it? Typically regurgs only happen if the temps are too low.

    How to keep heat up ?

    There are many ways to achieve proper temps, I can better help you if you tell me more about the enclosure, a picture of it would be even better.

    Rescue tegu surgery *warning, graphic images*

    Last friday, North Bay Tegu & Monitor Rescue received this female red tegu, named Petrie. She had a huge, heavy mass on his neck area that turned out to be a very old abscess requiring surgical removal. She was not responding to the sedation at all, it took the dose of what would put down a...

    do tegus tails take longer to shed?

    Yup! The tails are usually last to shed and sometimes can be difficult. If its being stubborn you can soak and then rub some coconut oil on it to help loosen up the skin. Be sure that when it does shed that all of it comes off all the way down to the very tip so it doesnt restrict blood flow.
