    New diet

    Ah, okay. That makes more sense, because it is starting to get colder here and he isn't as active. Thank you!

    is this normal?

    It is hard because sometimes you cant help but touch! I will say that the more I hold him he isn't so moody about it and is starting to trust me more around his tail. I think it bothers them because it is one of their defense mechanisms and it also stores a lot of fat. it should just be a stage...

    New diet

    Yes, definitely, but at the moment just cat food. I was recently at a reptile expo and there was only one tegu there and it was a 3 month old arg. red and he was HUGE! I asked the lady who bred and raised him what he was eating and she said cat food.. so right now its just an experiment and he...

    New diet

    For awhile I have been concerned with the way Bronson has been growing, I know that Colombians tend to grow slower, but he has been growing extra slow. I changed his UVB bulb and started feeding him wet cat food and he loves it!! The combination of the two seems to have worked and he is already...

    is this normal?

    my guy isn't thrilled when you touch the base of his taill for some reason? I think he is just real proud of how beautiful it is, and is letting me know, "hey! thats mine!" :P

    sixth sense??

    So check this out. I woke up this morning and got into this little argument with my girlfriend, we settled the dispute and I went to check on Charles.. Now this is where it got interesting for me. I put my hand in his cage and he charged me several times with his mouth open and tried to attack...

    weird behavior

    He seems to be fine.. I think he was just reacting weird to the new bulb but other than that he seems perfectly fine now.

    weird behavior

    well the bulb i was using was an all in one but i just bought this one to hold him over for a day or so. its an all living things bulb from petsmart.. 150 watt but it claims to be an all in one, so i thought i would test it out to see if it was any good. hes in a 40 gallon. im watching him...

    Argentine Vs Columbian Tegu

    petco has their deal going on now, so 40 bucks for a 40 gallon is a steal. my little guy lived in a 10 gallon his first month and is now in a 40. colombians grow slow, so that will be big enough for awhile. add cypress and one of those under tank heat pad to keep it humid. zoomed and exoterra...

    Argentine Vs Columbian Tegu

    I have a colombian and he is awesome! people give them bad reps when they have never even held one, they just read that somewhere online and decide its true. Colombians are smaller than the other breeds, but have much bigger attitudes to make up for it. if you want to put in a little extra work...

    I agree 100% they are such good pets and some of the most attractive tegus. I have read a couple of your posts and would like to see some pictures of your kodo! they do not deserve the reputation they deserve. i think they take more work the args and that extra work is definitely worth it i the...

    Yes, they sure are tough! It sure was a scare though.. I almost wasn't sure he was gonna make it, but he was so patient the whole time i applied the ointment and iodine. [hr] Here are some photos of him during the whole ordeal. i had him in a 10 gallon with paper towels. alot of these were taken...
