    Help! I don’t know what this is.

    D Definitely not hemipenes & as others mentioned could be prolapse but looks more intestinal to me. I would highly recommend you bring your tegu in to a vet immediately. My male is 11 years old so I’ve seen his hemipenes countless times over the years after he’s gone to the bathroom & what you...

    Aggressive

    Try backing off his heat source temporarily before handling when they’re acting aggressively. Of course feed when they’ve warmed up. My tegu is coming up on his 11th birthday & when he acts aggressively we back off on his heat source. Sounds like with your tegu’s behavior you’re not too far from...

    Honey?

    Once you try raw honey from a local bee keeper you wouldn't want the other stuff ever again. Its like drinking generic milk vs old style with the cream on top. Now I get goat's milk from a lady who raises her own goats. Talk about awesome milk! ...Jefroka

    Honey?

    I would suggest only using raw honey from a local bee keeper as most store bought honey is ultra filtered making its origin untraceable. Honey is traceable by pollen content. Ultra filtering removes all pollens. Some of this untraceable honey has been tested and determined to be something other...

    Tegu breeders

    Bobby had a rough past year here but I would not hesitate to purchase a tegu from him again. His tegus are top quality. He has always been an upstanding guy in my book. If you know the real story you know his county made changes to their tap water which somehow affected his incubating eggs. He...

    Just A Little Update On Beauregard

    Today he ate a little cat food but wolfed down the rat! Pretty awesome to see him eat rats. He ate a pretty large one this time & I believe he may have attempted to eat another but don't want him getting too fat ya know. He also ate a feather from one of my chickens. He was very interested in...

    Just A Little Update On Beauregard

    He really likes the cat food. I buy it from Whole foods Market. I place a full can on a plate along with a medium sized rat. He will consume the cat food first then the rat. ...Jefroka

    Just A Little Update On Beauregard

    Time will have to tell that tale but since he's eating like a pig he could very well experience a growth spurt. One thing I've learned about keeping a tegu is to expect surprises! He is still the sweetest personality, and my three dogs & him get along as if they were all dogs. :D ...Jefroka

    Just A Little Update On Beauregard

    He's pushing two & a half yrs now. Don't know how long he is, somewhere around the 4' mark. Some of you who have been members of tegu talk for a while likely remember my periodic updates & how fast he was growing. He actually wound up getting a little picky on me as for his food choices go...

    not doing well at all

    What are those round brown things in the video? Dog food? I'm wondering if he hurt the inside of his mouth while feeding and it irritates the heck out of him when he tries to eat. In the video he looks a bit tired and particularly frustrated right after he tried to eat. Man, best of luck, you...
