    Uncertain about what to do (doesn't like to be handled)

    My tegu, Max, does this thing called window surfing, when ever he does this he won’t really be interested in food, if I open the lid he will want to try and jump out. me and my dad are working on his final tank even though he is only a year and a half, just to save money, but when I take him out...

    Weird spot after shedding. Burn?

    Do try again on the pic, how old is your tegu, I believe I use a 80w for my tegu because he is so close to it (maybe 6 inches) but once he gets to his new tank I am going to change it to a 110w bulb.

    Help. (strange white patch)

    My tegu has the same thing and he has had it for awhile, I think it’s stuck shed but even though I have gave him a few baths, it still doesn’t go away so what I am going to attempt to do is keep his tank more humid and see what happen, I think it happens when you don’t keep the tank humid enough.

    Does anyone else’s tegu walk with its tail raised

    So recently I noticed that my tegu, Max, has begun walking with his tail raised. he used to walk with his tail dragging but now he often walks with his tail up when I let him out. I don’t think if it is a problem that it’s a big one but just want to make sure and see if anyone else’s tegu is...

    How can I tell if my tegu has tape worms

    Hello, I rescued a puppy from the woods and my sister has brought the pup to the vet today and the vet said she has tapeworms, I don’t believe Max will have tapeworms because I try my best to keep young pups out of my room especially when I have him out. All I am asking is what are symptoms of...

    Rex is sleeping a lot

    that is quite normal for a tegu my little man max, he sleeps till 10 or so and will go to bed at 5 or 6. tegus are well know to be sleepers. when they brumate they usually will be in their hut all day, they won’t eat as much and sometimes at all. They will also not be very active

    Dead tail

    I am not a pro at owning a tegu I only have a year old tegu but his tail fell off a few months back, if you don’t know for but tegus have break plates like geckos, if it does fall off, it might fall of at a break plate and grow back, but you might just end up having a odd tegu. just keep a very...

    Tegu growth with a missing tail

    Hey guys, I have a black and white Argentine tegu and I have had time for about 6-8 months, I got him from a owner that couldn’t take care of him. maybe a month or two ago I accidently closed the cage door on his tail, it almost got cut off but only had some skin hanging on. It broke at a brake...
