    Argentine or Extreme Giant?

    He looks like a regular "she" to me. Regardless, it appears to be healthy and happy, so nice job so far. It's nice to see you at least got something from Bobby. Not everyone can say that.

    Over-sized Prey

    With both my large Tegu, and my Black Throat Monitor, they don't tear up their food. They'll swallow it whole every time. I feed them a lot of reasonably large prey items and they don't seem to have a problem getting them down. My BT once swallowed a small/medium rabbit whole. I was a bit...

    Radiant Heat Panels

    Then consider my suggestion to be directed towards someone who's enclosure isn't set up perfectly.

    Radiant Heat Panels

    I'm sure you are, but just be aware of certain spot light bulbs. They can really concentrate the light/heat in small areas and burn your Gu. I learned this the hard way with my Black Throat. I had been using the same bulbs for years without a problem, then when I switched brands to what I...

    2012 teguterra b&w

    He looks great! He (or she), has great contrasting coloring. Very attractive Tegu.

    Tegu not growing

    That's a big problem right there. He's not a hamster or guinea pig. Aspen doesn't hold any moisture at all and is a terrible substrate for a reptile. You can mist all day long and he's not going to benefit from it. I would immediately swap out his substrate for almost anything else (except...

    Show off your adults!

    The majority of discussions here tend to lean toward the babies, and juvies. Where are all the adult Tegu's? Big adult Tegus are my favorite. They have great personalities, are fat, lazy, and very docile, and just a lot of fun to interact with. I have two adults. One male who is 4 years old and...

    Extreme Giant question..

    He looks like a she to me. But that's just based off the pics. The sperm plugs that come out with his poop look like a little yellow squid, or jellyfish. My girl looks very different from my male, but they're also two years apart in age.

    Sai my Extreme Giant (Chaco White Giant)

    He looks great for 2 months. Keep it up.

    Bit of help please..

    Does she have a hide or burrow that retains any moisture? Misting doesn't do a lot if the substrate can't retain the moisture. Dry substrate will soak up whatever moisture the animal has. This is where I think your problem is. Make sure her hide, or burrow, or wherever she goes at night, is...

    Tegu not growing

    What substrate is he on? Your humidity is probably off as well.

    Climbing tree for tegu ?

    I have a large log in their enclosure that they climb all over, but it's just at an angle with no vertical areas. One end is buried in the substrate on one end of the enclosure, and the other is suspended about 2 feet above the substrate at the other end. They really like it. Tegus are almost...

    Guru is coming back on Tuesday

    That's awesome. I couldn't imagine selling my big guy. Then to have the opportunity to buy him back. That's great.
