    Red Tegu for sale

    Hello! I am forced to sell my Red Tegu due to my family moving. I would love for him to go to a home where he can be treated as a PET rather than and animal. He is very social and enjoys human interaction. He is around 3 1/2 - 4ft long and has a fantastic appetite. He does have some shedding...

    In Need of a Temporary Home For my Red Tegu

    Hello Guys, I'm in a bit of a predicament. I am moving from California to Arkansas, and am unable to house my red tegu until I move from my rental to my house that is being built. I am looking for a kind soul to temporarily home my tegu until the house is built in July. He is very tame, and has...

    My Tegu Is Pooping Rocks...

    Hello Tegu Talk, I just got back from Idaho three days ago (after a month), and apparently my sister took good care of my Tegu. He is a big boy now! He grew at least 5" longer and 1" wider, and his joules are starting to come in! When I was soaking him today, he peed more than usual. After...

    Tegu Personalities

    Hello to all, I'm back, now that my red tegu Titus is out of brumation. He didn't seem to grow much, but that was expected. Its been a week and I can already see him fattening up, and his mood seems to be a lot better (he started tail whipping and even opened his mouth at me during the period...

    First time owner, just need some advice.

    Hello! I was in the exact opposite place when I got my Red. As soon as he settled into his home, I began the process of allowing my tegu to familiarize himself with me, and vise versa. Things went well for a week until he didn't come out anymore...the little dude started brumating. That was in...

    Another Successful Day!

    Took my lil boy out again today! Went from the bathtub, to my sweater, and the little guy decided to crawl out of my sleeve onto my desk where he found a nice warm spot on my computer! Seems like he is settling in well! I haven’t been bitten or whipped yet, so I must be doing something right :).

    Pariel Eye , Pineal Eye , Third eye

    Only people who have their third eye opened can answer this question...none other better than myself

    Pariel Eye , Pineal Eye , Third eye

    Any living being has a third eye, you just have to give him the right dosage of shrooms. (I’m totally kidding)

    Where’d my tegu go!

    Ya I’m not really concerned about taming issues, right now, because my Savannah didn’t let me hold her without fighting until she was 8 months old. A lot of people are disturbed by the fact that these are reptiles, and even though they are smart, they still have primitive instincts that will...

    Where’d my tegu go!

    Well, the title isn’t exactly descriptive of the situation. I know exactly where my tegu is...in his hide...for the last 12 hours. I can see the little dude shifting his positions, but I think he is sleeping, maybe buerumating? I just got him a couple days ago, and he seems to like his...

    Questions from the newbie

    I can honestly say I am very new to tegus, but am very experienced in temperature/humidity control. I recently built an 8x4x4 enclosure that is nearly spot on to the necessary conditions that a tegu needs...in one day. Monitoring temps is super easy...surface-temp gun...ambient-digital...

    What an amazing first day!

    Hello TeguTalk, So today I received my Argentine Red, and boy is he beautiful! He has so much coloration for being only a month old, and a personality that makes me realize why all of you love tegus so much. Now, when I reached into the package to pull the guy out, he was so calm and seemed...

    New Tegu Owner Question!

    I totally see what you mean. I attempted to see the clean slate I was working with, and let me tell you...I’m going to have my work cut out for me. I couldn’t him still for about an hour, until finally he calmed down and began exploring my hand. He ate approx 20 grams of ground turkey until he...
