Sorry havent really been on here for a while, im in the process of building and planning his adult enclosure. Hopefully he will love it, this ones in my room so he will be forced to see me the second i wake up hahaha. Really takes up a lot of room, worth it though so i can spend more time with...
Hes a pain to work with right now, but i expected that from this age tegu i guess. people say that "your tegu might seem like they hate ur guts" but still makes me kinda sad that the second he sees me he goes crazy, to the point that he might sometimes accidently hurt himself. i hope he will...
so ive had this tegu (about 2 feet) for almost a month now if im not wrong? hes doin great, grown a lot (even suprised the breeder). though as i know from the breeder, he is really active. im guessing its a stage like everyone says? hes smart in a way he tricks me a bit, he begs to be let out...
The iguana have never bit me, although someone who helps around with the animals here have. Lots of blood dripping, didn't need stitches though. He was opening the iguana’s cage to feed it, lunged at him. Since ive had the macaw for years, Its easy to see her body language, although my friends...
I agree that its more of an accidental bite, since he missed the food and went for my finger, usually the food doesnt move but that day it seemed alive so he decided to shake it. Once he realized its my hand he lets it go and went for the food. The bite is weirdly the most mild bite ive had...
weirdly, if i feed fillets he usually take it out of my hand carefully, but whenever theres ground anything he goes insane. the bite isnt as bad as i thought it would be but ill be more carefull when feeding him then. better train it out of him before he reaches adulthood or that would hurt :).
today i experienced my first, and i hope last tegu bite. he saw me carry his bowl (when he sees it it means food). and he rushed to the front of the enclosure and before he jumped down i pushed him back into the cage. although, a few seconds later he bit my hand and shook it, thinking its food...
I tried not letting him out for a day so he can be used to not ALWAYS being out and he HATES it. Keeps hitting the glass door its kinda scary. Looks like hes gonna break the glass or something.
Hey everyone,
So im a new tegu owner and im still not sure if everything is normal. My gu (haku) arrived almost a week ago now. I know people say to not hold their tegu for a week or so but my tegu just climbed on my hand. Hes about 2 feet so from what i know going through what people call...
Yes ive figured out his routine, he wakes up at 12 basks for an hour or so and beg for food. After feeding and basking for a few more hours he walks around my bedroom & bathroom exploring (he wont stay put in the cage all day usually clawing at the enclosure door so i open it) For an hour or so...
hes mostly fed with tongs but ive done it once or twice. when hes full he still does it, he has a large hide too where he sleeps at night (after hes finish with the pacing). i was just worried something might be stressing him out.
so ive had this 2 foot tegu for 3 days now and he is doing great. he would walk into my hand and eat out of it too now. although, i am concerned about his pacing and scratching on the glass. he does this every night, starting at around 7 (wont stop doing it even after his lights are out). is...
Well then, ill just feed him in the cage. I checked on him this afternoon And he's out exploring again. He actually ate a lot today. He’s getting a bit more comfortable with having me around, although he scurries back whenever someone else visits him.
