    Substrate poll

    So I had a situation the other day with my substrate. I had 100% cypress mulch which my Tegu seemed to love burrowing and digging in. Now when I first got him I fed him in the cage in a plastic bin because I was worried about compaction, he then outgrew my tub and he didn't like the walls so...

    My Tegu is missing a nail... could use some advice.

    Just came back from the vet who confirmed that it did come off from getting stuck on something most likely. Wasn't a shedding problem (phew )and the nail could grow back but might look a little odd. They trimmed his nails as well because they were very long. But he is happy and healthy! Thanks...

    My Tegu is missing a nail... could use some advice.

    No the vet didn't ask, I was more curious if the nail fell off in the middle of the enclosure or on/near the stick I put in .. I gave him a warm bath and the piece that was sticking to his toe is now gone. I'll put antibiotic ointment on tonight. He seems to be acting normal and it doesn't seem...

    My Tegu is missing a nail... could use some advice.

    I did put a new stick in his enclosure 2 days ago. Maybe it got caught? I still haven't been able to find the actual nail.

    My Tegu is missing a nail... could use some advice.

    So I came home from work today and Littlefoot My tegu looked like he exploded with shed. But after moving my thermometer I noticed it had some blood on it (which I figured was from his previous meal) but after looking at his back foot I noticed one of his nails was bloody/gone.. I have attached...

    Littlefoot my Red x Black and white Tegu! (Anyone use periscope?)

    So far so good! He is very active, it's nice to see him out when I'm home on the weekends.

    Littlefoot my Red x Black and white Tegu! (Anyone use periscope?)

    Yeah but I like to see him and give him attention! Usually I get home from work at 4:30 or so right when I get home he is usually hiding so I take out all of the hides and find him. He is usually a little sleepy but doesn't seem to mind. So will he just not want to wake up one of these days ?

    Littlefoot my Red x Black and white Tegu! (Anyone use periscope?)

    So at one point in time it's possible I won't be able to wake him up? I haven't heard of such a thing. I have read that it's something they naturally do in the wild but I have also read about people not letting them hibernate by just waking them up everyday which I have heard mixed opinions on...

    Littlefoot my Red x Black and white Tegu! (Anyone use periscope?)

    I decided to not let my little guy hibernate I have heard mixed things about the subject but it seems like they need to hibernate to breed but I'm not planning on breeding.

    Littlefoot my Red x Black and white Tegu! (Anyone use periscope?)

    So far so good with this little guy! He is a little picky with his food as of right now and I'm not sure if 2-4 bites is enough to make him full when he eats but he seems to be at a good weight so I'm not too worried! He is a Red x black and white So I started periscoping a couple months...

    Thank you Tegutalk. I finally got a baby

    Thank you so much Jessicak, I actually did not plan to get a hybrid but it just ended up working out that way, and it actually was a blessing in disguise cause I couldn't choose between the black and whites and the Reds! And Walter, from my "so so" measuring skills he is about 12 inches...
