    Varnyard Chacoan breeding pair!!

    Someone should totally snatch up his stock. I agree that it's too bad how things went with Bobby. I had a good experience with him and he bred some amazing tegus.

    Chacoans with "Firebelly"???

    My "chacoan" from Varnyard gets an orange belly every once and awhile (especially before she sheds). It comes and goes. Regardless of what a "chacoan" or "firebelly" tegu truly is, they don't seem mutually exclusive. Or even permanent!

    Drowning Dragon and How I Dealt with It

    Earlier this evening, my boyfriend decided to give my bearded dragons a bath, as they had walked through their own poop. One of my small males, named Labyrinth, decided to try and drown on me! I had never dealt with a drowning animal (specifically reptile) before, but he came out all right, and...

    Beginner Big lizards

    I applaud your willingness to learn about a species before keeping it. And thats why people ask questions: to learn! I agree with other posters why a blue tongue skink is a good beginner lizard thats on the larger side. Bearded dragons also get pretty big (largest ive heard of is 2 feet long...

    Tegu and Misc. Enclosure Ideas?

    Tarot did a kind of pseudo-hibernation. He still seems pretty small to me too, but it's hell to try and measure him lol. I live in an apartment too, so all my cages have to either be small, or serve as furniture!

    Tegu and Misc. Enclosure Ideas?

    thanks for the thorough input! I hadnt really thought to use sliding glass doors... Dont know why that didnt occur to me, it sounds like the best option. My current setup is pretty much just panels of plexiglass on hinges swinging upwards. they're secured by latches - weak ones. I'll probably...

    Tegu and Misc. Enclosure Ideas?

    Soon, i will be moving into a pet friendly townhouse with my animal-loving friends. It will have an actual backyard!! :D Though it will be pretty small and i want to leave as much room as possible for the two medium dogs. This expansion of living space and new backyard provide new housing...

    Need suggestions

    they just require really HOT temps. i share the sentiment, but the high temp requirements are kind of discouraging for me. Uro's are crazy cool though, and can tame down nice as i understand it.

    what to say

    many of my animals have been passing lately from the after-effects of a heat bulb fire (never buy cheap bulbs...), so i feel for you. that vet sounds like he didnt know what he was doing. Though, sometimes i find pursuing a wronging too furiously can just keep these wounds opened longer than...

    Need suggestions

    black throats are awesome, but they get huge!! Beardies are kinda "average" and common reptiles, but they can still be very rewarding. Though i'd suggest making sure you get yours from a good breeder. They tend to be healthier and much better looking /behaved than pet store ones. Maybe you could...

    Terrible Ones Support Group

    yeah, my tarot from the same clutch has been nuts lately. i cant let him out as much as he wants because he's made a habit of trying to attack anything that moves. including my toes and fingers! you can always tell when it's coming - he does the crazy eyes and tenses up - but i cant trust the...
