I am going to slowly and deliberately put an enclosure together. If it takes 6 months to a year, then so be it. I'm going to use a 150gal livestock tank to start off. Eventually, I would like to use the tank as a the water feature in an adult cage.
I'm considering a sand/soil mix for the...
So, who is successfully keeping these guys other than Chelvis? Do others who've been attempting this have thriving animals, or is it normally a struggle? They've been around for a couple of years at lower prices and much higher access, so what's the general consensus? I'd love to get one just...
I know that this is an older thread, but as someone who's owned and Egyptian uro for almost 5 years, I thought I'd provide some thoughts from experience.
First, I bought mine from a very reputable source. DR Doug Dix at Deer Fern Farms has a great website and sells terrific uros of several...
Does anyone know if you can buy them young and set them up in pairs or trios? Has that experiment been attempted yet? I generally shy away from keeping multiple reptiles together, but it might be beneficial to raise a group if you intend to attempt breeding (maybe).
Very sorry to hear that, man. It's an awful feeling to find an animal that you do everything in your power to keep healthy dead. For over 10 years, all I ever wanted was a beautiful baby orange-headed dumeril's monitor. I found a great cbb hatch some years back. I was so proud of it. I fed...
I am contemplating moving my 2009 blue tegu. My wife is due with our first child on February 1st. My collection is small, but it still takes a lot of work and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to balance caring for a newborn with caring for my reptiles as I am accustomed to.
I'm not...
I just saw my 2 year old blue doing the "snake tail" thing this afternoon. He's never bitten me, but was acting a bit strange. I've recently started to feed him fewer rodents and more turkey. This means I sit and watch him eat to make sure he doesn't fling the meat into the mulch and ingest...
Thanks for the info. Hopefully someone can write a useful text or construct a website detailing their requirements. This is the best info I've seen yet for this species.
I found an Asian supermarket with frozen snails just a few minutes from my house this afternoon. That pretty much...
I've never had an issue with cypress and have used it for years. It gets the occaisional wood mite, but that's no real issue. Cooking mulch kind of defeats the purpose to me. Humidity is one of the reasons I use it, and heating it will dry it out a lot faster.
I'd love to check out that site. Unfortunately, when I attempted to register for an account, I was immediately booted from the site. It told me that I was spamming. That's very odd, considering that I never made a single post. Not sure how to contact the admins, either.
I'm very likely to by a nice 2-year old from a reputable breeder. Anyone here keep them? I hear they need high humidity and moderate temps. My reptile room never goes below 75, so I may need to make ambient temps a bit lower. What size enclosure would be good for a 5 inch tortoise? I'm...
Cervic dislocation works well. I feed thawed frozen, so I don't use the technique anymore. The procedure entails putting a small solid object like a spoon or metal rod behind the rodent's head. You could also just frimly grasp the head. Hold the head in place, then grip the tail and pull...
Cool. I'll keep offering daily. I have a seven foot cage and a mega-ray, so I think the tegu is in an ideal situation. I want it to get huge, just not unhealthy fat. I'll try to get some pics soon, but trust me when I say it's a big blue. Eating. Machine. easily the best and most hardy...
