    What would you trust your argentine tegu to hang out with in terms of other pets?

    That’s inherently false MasterJedi. Tegus are solitary animals, hence the reason you don’t see “Tegu Packs” in the wild. And tegus do not show facial expressions displaying emotion, in other words you have no idea if the tegu loves your other pets. Don’t let your dog or cat or any other animal...

    Welcome home Mars! (Month range?)

    Yeah even looking at those pics, the tegu looks exactly the same as mine at the 2-3 month mark, interesting. I guess their growth rates really do vary so much, I remember reading someones was 31 inches at 4 months and to hear these are 19 at 8 months says it all

    Welcome home Mars! (Month range?)

    My female red is 4.5 months old and about 24 inches, i’d say they may be younger but if he says 8 months then maybe so, could have been fed a poor diet or something and that would explain the growth perhaps

    Is this reptilemagazine advice good

    Just a side note I would highly advise against restraining a young tegu. No reason to piss it off and be an annoying human. Good way to teach it to stay the hell away from you imo. Now older ones, who have a capability of biting your finger off, yeah that makes sense. But, you want the tegu to...

    Hibernation Questions.

    It seems like you should do more research. You need a temp gun and thermostat and also a humidity guage. I would buy a reptile fogger that way you can actually maintain the humidity. I would be worried if his nose is running and he ate 1 pinky mouse in a month and you are not even sure if he’s...

    Red tegu claws look weird!?!?!

    Right on! I was trying to stress that just raw egg can be bad as I think I remember reading that raw egg contains a chemical that is bad unless cooked? (Can’t remember the exact deatils) And if only feeding raw egg over time it can turn to bad things. But yeah you’re definitely right, feed...

    Red tegu claws look weird!?!?!

    Try live insects as I stated , make sure humidity levels are at a consistent 70% , and go from there. Trying dog food , which i advise against unless you fully know whats in the food (Now a days dog food is grain filled cancer and shouldn’t even be used for dogs) , and egg yolk do not cut it at...

    Red tegu claws look weird!?!?!

    You should feed more than raw egg. My tegu eats more than 10 different food items every week ranging from grapes, blue berries, avacado, meal worms, dubias, crickets, silversides, talpia, day old qauil, hoppers, eggs, ground venison, worms and some other items. Your post with the picture didn’t...

    Genetic deformity?

    Bit of a shame that people are willing to risk the animals life/healfh for an interesting color combination that appears aesthetically pleasing to the human eye. I knew it was very common in BP breeding , to the point where some of them bobble their heads up and down like a damn boomerang...

    Livvys thread

    Thanks Merlot. And yes she does, ironically enough I call my lizard shitting on the floor convenient! You’re right, It will make potty traning her much easier as well. Definitely going to update with more pics when the big 8X3X2 comes in next month! Hoping she’ll be able to stay in that...

    My journey

    I would advise against the stop feeding right away, try to ease into it, because if he isn’t in brumation/hibernation and he isn’t eating, his body will use up a lot of energy as he isn’t slowed down ready for brumation. If you think he is showing singns of brumation , then drop the temps slowly...

    My tegu seems to be aggressive lately

    I doubt he was mistreated or abused, they’re not puppy dogs as some people and a lot of others on the internet like to try to say they are. You stated he scrated your arm when you got him- Yeah that’s completely normal they have sharp claws and if he/she is on your arm, then your arm will be...
