    Twitching, Tremors, MBD, UV and D3.

    My basking spot is higher, around 110-115F. Ambient temp - 82-85F. If you can, invest in a mercury vapor bulb. I find they greatly improved my Tegus that I took on who came with me with MBD. My red seems to have improved a lot. (Althought once damage is done, cannot be totally reversed). I use...

    New Camera Test

    Thanks! And I sort of ran out of things to post about, but now that I got this new camera, I'm sort of going nuts with photographs. Expect more of me soon LOL. Or my GU's, I should say :lol:

    New Camera Test

    I just got a new camera. It's the Canon EOS 450D. I'm not that great with it yet, I've had it about a day. Most of these shots were on Macro and Portrait, even though my Tegu is not a person, lol. I'm going to have to fiddle around with the manual settings. I'm also taking lessons.

    Add-Ons to the Komodo Tank

    Yeah, I was thiking that. I don't know why, but in the pictures, the wall looks brown. It's a burgundy red, it looks ok behind the tank (:

    Add-Ons to the Komodo Tank

    If you misread the title, no it isn't for a Komodo Dragon :P it's by "Komodo Exotics". I just added a few new plants + Driftwood so I wanted to just show some pictures.

    New Gu PICS

    Oh! I didn't notice anyone else in the store? You must have come in and left pretty quickly :P Or maybe I was just sidetracked looking at all the reptiles. And yes, Moose was the one in the bottom enclosure. He's way too large for Archie right now, but when Archie gets larger, they'll be...

    New Gu PICS

    Thanks everyone. So far, I haven't noticed his feeding response much. He hasn't been too hungry since I got him. He had an adult mouse the night I got him, and picked grapes out of the turkey the other day. Surprising, he chose grapes over ground turkey.. I'll give him some time to settle in...

    Hibernation Question about Archie

    Hey everyone. So some of you may know, my red tegu, Archie never really looked alert to begin with, just because of the MBD he has. His eyes are always weird looking, his limbs stick straight out and he lays on his stomach and he doesn't move much. My question is : He's super active in the...

    New Gu PICS

    Hey everyone. Well, sorry to come here on sad terms, but my Argentine B&W Tegu, Panzer has passed away. He was in great health, apart from the MBD. It was a total accident, I had no idea what happened. He had a fall and landed the wrong way, apparently fracturing his neck or causing damage and...

    Not opening eyes?

    My Red Tegu gets this, too. He spend most of his time under the cypress mulch, and when he comes up, he never opens his eyes. The only way I can get him to open them is to give him a bath. When I take him out of the bath, I put him back in his enclosure and that's when he opens his eyes. I'm...
