    earning trust at last golden tegu

    even when my columbian was a 6 inch hatchling he could draw blood and had a pretty dam powerful grip. he has over tripled in size but thankfully i have quasi tamed him. i'd hate to see what his bites could do now lol.

    how do you like to feed?

    i just got a one month old sav and i had a few questions about feeding. how many people feed inside the enclosure and how many take thier monitor out for feeding time? i know the 2 main reasons for taking the animal out for feeding are to lessen the chance of impaction and to hopefully lessen...

    obese columbian?

    my gold is about 6 months old now and already about a foot long snout to tail. i was just wondering if there is any problems with obese tegus like i'd heard about savs becoming obese. he eats everyday like there is no tomorrow. in a day he will go through numerous crickets, 2 or 3 dozen...

    my armadillo lizard

    i bought an armadillo lizard today. i wish i had a camera right now but he's about 5 inches long and dark brown. almost like a smaller uro with the plates and armored spike tail. i read up on them before i bought him and apparently they are pretty rare on the pet trade and there's not too much...

    New to the forums and to tegus

    welcome to the forum! the dealer most definitly misinformed you about the columbian tegus ability to be tamed. i cant speak from years of experience but ive had a young gold columbian for several months and it is far from "tame" and i doubt it will ever be anything more than cautiously shy in...

    the green devil

    *sigh* i have some green bean plants growing in my one year old iggs enclosure for him to eat on but yesterday i observed him devoring large mouthfuls of the soil they are planted in. im thinking there is one of 2 reasons. 1 some kind of nutrient deficiency. -he has a very varied and...

    Video of the last female giant soft shell turtle.

    how many of you guys own chinese water dragons? they are quickley becoming endangered in becuase the united states imports them by the tens of thousands from villagers who catch them in the wild. it really makes me sick when i see the half dead things at petco. we are just as much to blame as...
