"Potty Training"

[Brian A]

I've read that many people's tegus will use their water bowl as a toilet. Mine prefers to be let out and defecate on my floor. It's been months since it last went in the bath tub. Any tips on training it to go in a more convenient location than my carpet? Lol.

On a marginally related note, has anyone tried teaching their tegu "tricks"? Like fetch and come?

Hello Brian my tegu isn't train and I never thought about it I just hold him a lot and let him run around lol besides Zesus has a mind of his own

LOL, My Savannah monitor likes to use my carpet as well .. But My golden tegu uses his water bowl as a toilet, I didn't train him to do it. It just happen. But I run a bio active enclosure for my savannah monitors, ornate monitor and my tegu, so even if they don't use the water bowl, I rarely ever have to clean any of my enclosures.. The hardest part for me is training a rhino iguana how to use the bathroom toilet to poop. LOL..

OMG Jrock, that made me laugh. In case you are serious about the rhino and the toilet, I want to see a video please???

 

[Jrock23]

I can never get him to sit still to make the video, I saw someone do with with a green iguana so I thought I would give it a try, but its not working for me what so ever LOL..

[Jrock23]

LOL its very hard to do, but my iguana always being difficult and never want to comply

I love rhino iguanas, I wish I had more room and more time

Yea rhinos are about $3-400 at underground reptiles.. I wish I could build an outside enclosure for my lizards but i live in chicago so its not an option for me.. People who don't see snow are so lucky to have nice weather all year round..
