    tail shedding issue

    I have been having tail shed issues as well. She's a bout 3 months old. I supplement her diet with cod liver oil, and the tank humidity is kept high with moist moss substrate. Her entire body sheds beautifully in one piece, but the last three sheds it has stopped at her tail, and it takes the...

    Harnesses for small tegus (niles is 18")

    My little one is a massive pain to harness train. I would like her to be adjusted so I don't have a 4 foot long death rolling ball of claws trying to harness her as an adult. She is amazingly calm, lets me get one arm in the harness, and then squirms or jumps out of it, and goes back to...

    Tub time

    Sometimes mine closes her eyes and relaxes, and other times she goes in a fit of non-stop scratching at the sides. Very persistent critter.

    Picky Tegu

    My tegu wouldn't touch anything but turkey for a few weeks. I would offer roaches/mealies/superworms and she wouldn't pay them the slightest bit of attention. Tried dubia again one day, and I don't think I've ever seen a lizard murder and eat an insect so brutally. They just have to be in the...

    Need Help with Taming my Baby Tegu (Super Aggressive)

    I would need a close up picture of his nose to be sure, but I do believe he is an argentine tegu. He could just be a bit sassy and should tame down if handled properly/regularly. http://tegusfromaroundtheworld.weebly.com/uploads/1/9/2/6/19266971/3811116_orig.jpg...

    Extreme, Blue, B&W, what's the difference?

    I am new to the tegu world, but have been researching as much as I can. From what it seems, there are 3 recognized species of tegu in the pet trade. Columbian(gold), Argentine (B&W), and Red. Chacoans are an argentine morph, sizes can vary. Blues are likely more "heavily" morphed albinistic...

    Chaco with a fire belly?

    I do agree it comes across heavily as a marketing gimmick, which seemed to originate from a Bobby Hill. All of the pictures of adult tegus that I have seen labelled as "Chacoan" have had a higher degree of white coloration, which is why I chose the Chacoan label seeing as this vendor had them...

    Chaco with a fire belly?

    It's a Tupinambis merianae color morph, I expect nothing more or less regarding size. As for overpriced, mine was the same price as any Argentine B&W on the market. At worst I have a healthy, tame tegu. If as marketed, I have a beautiful high-white lizard.

    Chaco with a fire belly?

    I recently received my tegu from Snakes at Sunset. She was marketed as a chacoan as well, but also displays a light orange underbelly. Regardless, she arrived healthy and is much more tame than I was expecting. She enjoys burrowing into your clothes and falling asleep to head rubs.

    Grow Tent Enclosure

    Thanks for posting this, very interesting idea with budget in mind. I take it this is the model tent you chose? https://www.amazon.com/Urban-Farmer-48x48x80-Reflective-Hydroponic/dp/B01FIJKPMU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1475354755&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=grow%2Btent&th=1
