    So what's the deal with D3?

    So, I know that I've been told by several sources to not use calcium powder that has D3 in it. But, the closest pet store to me seems to only sell it with D3. So, my question is, why is it such a big deal to have it/not have it? Does it do any actual harm to the animal, or just found...

    What are optimal temps for a young tegu?

    I have an exo terra 125 watt solar glo bulb that I swap out at night for a 50 watt red night bulb. Although Penny likes sleeping on the cool side of her tank so the night bulb is probably not all that necessary.

    Like New Exo Terra Incubator

    I didn't realize that you can't edit posts after ten minutes, so sorry for the obnoxious double post. If you are interested but not in Michigan and are willing to cover shipping costs, I would ship it. Also I forgot to add in my trade bit that I may be interested in certain gargoyle geckos, but...

    Like New Exo Terra Incubator

    I have an exo terra incubator that I have no use for since making the decision not to breed. Only used once for corn snake eggs that turned out to be duds. Comes in the box with the car adapter and manual and everything. 150 dollars or best reasonable offer. I may entertain trades, I am...

    What are optimal temps for a young tegu?

    Just wanted to update. Penny is settling in quite well and is even cool with me coming in and out of the room and touching her now and again. I measured my temps with a digital probe; the hot side is a toasty 83 and the cool side 74 with a 102 basking spot. This is in the 20 long. So yes, a...

    What are optimal temps for a young tegu?

    Yes, that one. It's 125, which is as low as I could get it. I plan on adjusting its distance from the tank until the temps are right.

    What are optimal temps for a young tegu?

    Thanks for the responses. As for getting a bigger tank, I'm afraid I cannot do that right now. A 20 long is what I have, and I have been told that it will do just fine for a few weeks until I can get her permanent enclosure built. As far as UVB, I have the light from Exo Terra that has both UVA...

    What are optimal temps for a young tegu?

    I'm going to be picking up my first ever tegu on Monday. I've had plenty of other reptiles, but this is my first adventure getting something big and I am pretty excited. I have a 20 long hatchling enclosure all planned out, but my question is, what are the actual optimal temps for the hot and...
