    Sleep and lighting

    My tegu is all over the place on sleep. I cant keep up with her schedule as it changes way to often. Has stopped digging in the dirt along time ago and now just pulls all her moss under the basking plat in her leaf hide and just curls up under it all. Comes out constantly to bask eat but then...

    Just curious

    You gotta watch them alot to see them drink. Or be lucky lol but it is funny to see. Everything your feeding it is super fatty. Switch gizzards to livers or hearts those much better meat than gizzards. Try mixing meat egg and dandelion greens together n cook it slightly. Also add insects...

    Help with whole foods

    Just be careful of fur impaction. If your buying feeders there is an option for hairless. Doesnt just need to be mice. Other reptiles are good aswell. Mine loves anoles and I have house gekos on order :p these are only treats as her diet is filled with everything she needs in a tegu omelet...

    Tegu will only eat insects

    I'll clarify it. Gram for gram ounce for ounce insects are giving your tegu the most protien vitamins and good fats. Ultimately your tegu should eat less bugs vs meat as the calories is higher in bugs than in meat. Fish would be close to second it's either fish or whey this I'm unsure of but...

    Wound

    I'm not here to be negative or argue. My first post was a true statement of a mistake was made and it is bad it was with an animal. What's done is done though. When I was a young boy I had this red ear slider that had a cut on its front foot. It being a 20 dollar first time pet made it not...

    Falling asleep

    Most tegus dont like being picked up. Best way I have found is to place front legs onto 1 hand and then with second hand lift at base of tail and put back legs on that hand and firmly hold n move. The huffing I only get when I dig her out of her moss but a few good strokes n she stops. Did...

    A few general questions

    1. Gender? 2. Nails need trim? 3. What is this discoloration on the tail The tail has been an issue for 3 sheds. I was hoping it would come off but it has not. Some just looking like black marking in a white band but other are clearly rough almost scab like. Doesnt seem to cause pain or...

    Wound

    I dunno about the others but I personally view my tegu as a family member. I have a 7yr son who would have seen a doctor for a cut of that degree. So I would also take my tegu lol. After zooming in on that pic I have no idea why your tegu isnt at a vet atm. It looks like it almost cut its finger...
