Thanks guys. I really don't want to go back to that shop. They were very rude and I may not be educated in Tegus yet, but I will be. I want to be... and they treated me like I didn't care.
Anyhow. I appreciate the input. Reading the article now, and I will definitely look into other avenues for...
Hello all,
So first let me say this... I am afraid I am going to get flamed when I post this. My girlfriend and I are first time Tegu owners, and we want to give the best to our tegu. When we bought him about 9 months ago, I expressed to the guy that I wanted an exotic pet, but had an issue...
I know it'd be the most cost effective route. And with some patience and planning, this could turn out great.
I received a couple of bids ranging from $850 - $1500... Really not in my range.
I printed out a couple of those tutorials. I am going to start planning. I just have to find a way to...
Well our Charlie is growing at an insanely fast rate, and we want to build him his new enclosure. However, we don't have the time, tools or expertise.
So, I live in Northern California. Anyone build 'em or have one?
We are looking for a 8 feet long by 4 feet deep by 3 feet tall.
Thanks...
Well it looks like Charlie's tail is fine now. Perhaps this is the way it grows? It seemed like we couldn't find the change in thickness today. This is a our first tegu, so we were a little concerned.
Thank you guys.
Sorry about that. Here is a drawing I just did. Obviously his tail isn't this thick towards the tip, but it gives you an idea of what it does. Everything else about him says he is healthy! Thank you for your help.
It has been awhile since we posted... But we are happy to say our Charlie is getting big! We have looked over old pictures, and holy smoke these guys grow fast.
We are concerned about his tail though. We noticed that his tail at about four inches from the tip the thickness changes. I have...
So we found that Charlie moved substrate around, but he has burrowed himself again. Neither my girlfriend or I have seen him. Is this enough movement to bring the lights and heat back on? Or do they sometimes come up for a little bit and go back?
Thank you guys! Awesome.
omgtaylorg, thank you so much. Pretty much put all my worries to rest. I will drop the heat then. No sign of him, but we keep fresh water in there for him.
Again thank you so much!
Well hello everyone!
First, we gotta say thanks to everyone that helped us out in the beginning. Charlie is a pretty awesome little guy. We are definitely in love with Tegus overall. We promised pictures, and you can see them on our thread in the welcome room.
So we noticed about 4-5 days...
It is this one. http://www.amazon.com/RZilla-11517-Humidity-Temperature-Gauge/dp/B000MD58N4
R'Zilla Temperature and Humidity Gauge. Which is on the hot side. Then on the cool side, I have one of those temperature strips that stick to the wall.
Also, I am running the PowerSun with no dome... Is...
I am in California. It can get a little too cold at night.. Outside temps have been high 30s/low 40s a couple times. Inside temps were around high 50s/low 60s.
Well so far so good. The only thing that concerns me now is the analog humidity and temp gauge. I think it may be inaccurate. When...
Really? No night heat. I don't know if I could do that. I'll explain later. I bought a 100 watt Powersun and I am wary it may not be enough. If I don't use night time heat, I could use the halogen bulb I just replaced... I'd be nervous if he'd be warm enough through the night. Does it matter if...
