    My tegu has gone crazy

    He's 10 years old though, lol. So I'm not sure what's up. A member in the tegus community thought it sounded like seasonal breeding behavior.

    How Often Should I Feed My Tegu

    Thank you, both of you. That's great to know that every day is for a baby, not an adult. I guess I've been feeding him right, I just might have to cut back on the portions.

    My tegu has gone crazy

    I wanted to update this thread so people know the outcome. Payload was like this for two weeks straight. And then after those two weeks, he stopped and finally went back to normal. This year I was expecting him to do it again, but he didn't. So it may have just been a one time thing.

    How Often Should I Feed My Tegu

    I would like to know how often I should feed my tegu. I've been reading on here that you should feed them every day. But if they're fed daily, how do they not get overweight? Obesity is a real problem for these lizards. Even with the proper basking spot (120) and humidity (60-70), I think a...

    My tegu has gone crazy

    His hide is in the low 80s. Do you think I should lower the temps for him? And thanks. I love his name.

    My tegu has gone crazy

    Here's a picture of him in his enclosure. It is 8x4x4 in a room with a humidifier and space heater constantly running. I did add another heat lamp since the one wasn't doing its job. The hot spot is 115 F. He gets misted several times throughout the day since it's really hard keeping up humidity...

    My tegu has gone crazy

    Payload is still going crazy and not eating. Should I be concerned about the lack of food? He's still going potty, so isn't completely empty although it's usually urates.

    Great to be here

    Thank you for the welcome! Payload is a big boy. He's been going crazy lately, and I made a thread about it in the Black and White Tegu forum. Is this forum still pretty active? The exotic forum I moderate on has slowed down now that facebook groups have become the new place to go for info. I...

    Great to be here

    It seems like a great community here. A little about myself. My name is Ash. :) I'm no stranger to exotics and have worked with them professionally for several years. I have a lot of reptiles of my own including a big male tegu named Payload! In addition, I have 4 iguanas, 1 nile monitor, 1...

    My tegu has gone crazy

    So my tegu is generally super lazy and blah, and usually is very good about eating his food. However, he went off feed and his behavior has changed drastically. I'm thinking this is breeding behavior, but I don't know for sure so wanted to come and ask. He's attempting to climb the enclosure...
