    Zeke Outside---PICTURES!

    Thanks! It took me FOREVER to get that picture! And I doubt she's one of Bobby's, I bought her at a reptile show from a pet store vendor...I don't know where she originally came from, or her actual age. Maybe a little less than two? It would be nice to know where she came from and all of that...

    Zeke Outside---PICTURES!

    Hello everyone! It's nearly 80 degrees today, so I decided to take Zeke outside for some natural sunlight. Well, it didn't start off to well...Zeke got away from me and darted in to a bush. It took my sister's help to get her out of there. She is crazy outside! She did walk around the yard, but...

    More Active During Spring?

    I try to support her whole body, usually one hand under her chest/stomach area and one at the base of her tail. I try to have her sort of lay on my arm so I can support the majority of her body, but she still wriggles around a lot. I never grab her from the top like a 'predator'. It probably...

    More Active During Spring?

    Thanks! I've been wanting to get her a harness...I think that would be pretty neat. The neighborhood kids would be amazed if they saw her haha. I was waiting until she stopped growing so rapidly, but I could probably get her one now. And yeah, she definitely isn't keen on being held. She has...

    More Active During Spring?

    I need to measure her, but I'm assuming she's about 3 feet...she's buried right now under her mulch and I don't want to wake her up. Her enclosure is 6 ft long by 2.5...I'd like to build her a bigger enclosure eventually when I get the money. I have two big rocks in there that she can climb on...

    More Active During Spring?

    Hey guys, Lately my tegu, who I believe is a female, has been very active. It's like she keeps trying to escape her cage. She'll 'walk' against the plexiglass, try to climb on everything, etc. in an attempt to get out of her cage. My male corn snake always gets active about this time of...

    ~Female Argentine Black & White Tegu~~Red Crested Gecko~

    Sorry, not willing to ship...to be honest I'm not really sure how to, I've never done it before and I'd rather not risk it. Not to mention the weather here is still unpredictable...just the other week it was in the 60's one day, and snowing the next. Kind of crazy! I also want to mention that...

    ~Female Argentine Black & White Tegu~~Red Crested Gecko~

    Due to college & a recently confirmed mandatory internship, I must find a new home for my tegu, Zeke. It would be selfish of me to keep her, and it isn't fair to Zeke or my mom, who has been taking care of her for me. Zeke is a female Argentine Black & White Tegu. She is over a year old, but not...

    Feeding Only Mice

    No, I am not looking for someone to 'pat me on the back'. I'm simply saying that a variety has not worked for Zeke in the past, and I was wondering why an all mice diet would really be so bad because it's supposedly nutritionally complete. She has no interest any any fruit I offer her (bananas...

    Feeding Only Mice

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering what were the thoughts of my feeding my tegu only mice? I have been giving her two adult mice every other day. Is that enough? She is a pretty good sized tegu, though I'm not sure of her exact size. I'll post a picture of her in the tub to see if that'll help...

    Chronic Diahrrhea

    Alright thanks guys, I'll try feeding him more rodents and see what happens. I'll probably be feeding him more mice than rats; they're cheaper, and I actually have two pet rats who I adore...so I'm a bit biased! There is a reptile show next month, I'll buy everything in bulk then. I need to get...

    Chronic Diahrrhea

    My tegu, as I recall, has never had a solid stool. They're supposed to be solid, right? I am unsure of Zeke's age, but I will post a picture to show you guys his size. This has gone on the entire time I've had him, which has been many months. I didn't think much of it because he seemed fine...

    Parvo Puppy Needs Help-Donations Appreciated!

    So here's the story; A friend of mine noticed a small stray puppy running around the countryside. It took some time but the puppy was finally caught and brought to my friend's house. She had to work today, and she asked me, my sister, and my best friend to see if we could do something with it...
