    Dexter killed a kitten

    So the kittens have grown more. He still wants them. Thank the gods that they will be leaving soon. He loves his new house. He can roam all 2400 square feet of it and has multiple basking roots in real sunlight. And sorry about the awesome humor. He doesn't care so much about being family...

    Do window bug screens filter out to much uv?

    Or none at all. Since we moved to Arizona I've just been opening the glass and dexter has been basking in the sunshine. He still has a power sun in his enclosure but I'm wanting real sun for him. The move killed my bank account so I can't build his outdoor enclosure yet.

    Dexter killed a kitten

    My wife forgot he was out and roaming. She left the bedroom door open. She and her friend came home to see dexter thrashing a kitten about. He crushed its head and was trying to rip it apart for consumption. Lesson learned. Don't forget that the beast is out. I also double gated the stairs in...

    Tegu aggression

    Yup. I just gave dexter a new house. Same thing. Don't worry.

    Why is he not growing?

    Yeah, columbians are way smaller. Tegus growth rate depends on not only a good diet, but the gu itself. I had one. He grew pretty good but nowhere near as fast as my chacoan. Don't be concerned. Food, vitamins, good light and a bigger home.

    Cage the lights.

    had dexter for a year now and he is

    Not really. Considering that a normal gets 4 feet or more. I think a 6x4' is the minimum. When we buy a house I'm going to build another enclosure for dexter. An 8x4. I'll use his current one for a female blue I'm going to get for breeding.

    had dexter for a year now and he is

    I'm hoping that's all it is. Nice big house to protect. He was even popping his throat. Not cute. My little girl absolutlly love him. I need him to be more mellow. She loves it when he licks her face.
