    Argentine black and white tegu diet

    Can you feed a tegu nothing but dog food, fruits, and veggies? I guess you technically could. Will your tegu be healthy, and live a good life? No. No, it will not. It will die relatively young, and in pain. Tegus need meat—preferably, whole prey. Turkey is one of the “tamer” meats you can...

    Fogger Question

    The one you linked is the exact one I have! I’m using it with a T100. To be fair, I do also use this: REPTI ZOO 10L Reptile Mister... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PRS6YCC/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 That being said, there were a few days where I wasn’t using the mist system due to issues with how...

    Draco’s New Digs!

    Finished the new enclosure, and got Draco moved in this past weekend. He seems to be loving it! In the end, I made a critical error in the design of the faux rock walls that caused them to crack all to hell and back, so they didn’t get used. I think it worked out better without them though...

    I have a biter. How do I discourage this?

    He’s been up for just about two weeks, now. Maybe that’s it. It’s weird because he doesn’t seem scared or aggressive when he does it. After he first woke up, he seemed very shy—didn’t want me close, would go hide out in his hide or freeze if I tried to handle him, or would huff and sometimes...

    Searching for a baby a Tegu

    I got mine from DynAnimal. Met the owner—nice guy, knowledgeable, and very passionate about tegus. My little guy is healthy, and has beautiful patterns.

    I have a biter. How do I discourage this?

    Draco is a male Argentine B&W, hatched in 2019. I got him last September, and he went down for brumation in October. He’s now back up, and seems to have developed a whole new personality. Every time I reach a hand out to him, we play his favorite game show: “Is He Curious, Or Is He Hungry?” So...

    UV Lighting Questions for an Animal Plastics T100, Bioactive

    That is gorgeous (and the size looks fine to me, but to be fair, I’m on mobile)!!! Ok, I’m going to have to look into how that’s done, and give it a whirl. I always loved playing around with mixing metallic paints, and PearlEx powders. I used to do a lot of polymer clay, too. I need to get back...

    UV Lighting Questions for an Animal Plastics T100, Bioactive

    Thank you!!! I’m trying, and learning as I go. Glad the material lists are useful, too! I haven’t found a whole lot of resources on doing this for tegus, so I’ve tried to put at least that out there for anyone else wanting to try it. I’m picturing that Sistine Chapel with reptile heads on...

    UV Lighting Questions for an Animal Plastics T100, Bioactive

    LOL! Since that pic was taken, I’ve also kicked my husband’s car out, and completely taken over the garage for the foreseeable future. Thank you so much! I sure do hope he likes it! The foam coat is still curing, so I’m not 100% sure yet, but the walls may have all they need (minus some extra...

    Humidity methods!

    I'm currently using this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CO9582Y/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 It's keeping his baby tank good and humid, and only needs topping off once a day--I don't even have to crank it up to full power. I do, however, hate that you have to remove the tank and pour water into...

    Timid tegu?

    Wow, that’s good to know. Thank you! I know they do in the wild, but even the breeder said he likely wouldn’t indoors, and that it wasn’t important for him to (since I’m only keeping him as a pet, not to breed).

    Timid tegu?

    I suppose he could be getting it from the window in the room. I thought it was only important for them to brumate if they were housed outdoors or you planned to breed them, though?

    Timid tegu?

    Thanks, Walter! That makes me feel better. Funny thing, since you mention it: I never did change the temps/lights. Still not sure why he insisted on going down, in the first place—everything was the same.
