    Tegu won't stop biting at random

    Wow, just looked up tegu courting behavior and it looks a lot like what he's been doing to me :') I never really thought of puberty since he's so small, but I suppose I should count my lucky stars he's going through it at this size and not when he's bigger. He has most of his free roam time in a...

    Tegu won't stop biting at random

    If he gets very insistent with his 'digging' i might pick him up and move him elsewhere, but I've never jerked away when he bites

    Tegu escaped- are they good at squeezing through very small spaces?

    This, unfortunately, isn't my first rodeo with lost reptiles, but he's definitely (at least for now) the smallest lizard I've ever lost. My door is a bit above ground, I can squeeze a couple fingers under the door if I hurt myself, and he's bigger than them. Do you think it's possible he could...

    Tegu having eye problems?

    My little guy seems to be having some issues with his left eye. I noticed when I first got him he frequently would get substrate (an eco earth/repti bark/spahgnum moss mixture) into his eye and would 'tear up' a bit and blink a lot until it came out, but after a couple of days he seemed fine...
