    Possible Underbite?

    Thanks for the reply. Ive been giving him chicken necks along with some ground turkey and berries every day, along with a hairless frozen mouse every M, W, F. And wow at how it has helped. I'll have to take some pictures but there is a massive difference in his mouth now. While the gap is still...

    Possible problems with D3

    Thanks for the info. I just ordered from rodent pro. Like I mentioned, I'm ordering some chicken necks and they should be here by Monday, As for mice I ordered 100 hairless adult mice as ive heard the hair can get impacted. About how many mice should he be getting a week? I think someone...

    Possible problems with D3

    Thanks everyone for the input. For some reason my email didn't let me know anyone responded, which is dumb. I did make another topic about his lower jaw. I just hate it if its due to calcium, as that was one thing Ive been trying to prevent. Everyday I cut up all his food and put it in a large...

    Possible Underbite?

    Thank you for your help. He was a baby when I got him and did have a slight shacking when he walked and his hands were almost stiff. He recovered from that but always had the kinks. I really didnt notice his mouth until a month or so ago. I believe another user on here said the kinks may be shed...

    Possible Underbite?

    Ive been meaning to ask this and I kinda mentioned it on another topic. Ive noticed my Blue/red tegu having a more pronounced lower jaw than most tegus I see. When resting he opens the tip of his mouth slightly. I know this can be the start of MBD, but there is no way he has that. He has a...

    Will a broken toenail grow back?

    Thanks for the replay, I hate that, you try so hard to keep your pets perfect and happy then something weird like this happens. So will he always just have that little nub of a nail or will the rest of the nail fall off? Whats odd is that its still a point at the tip, as in its not shard or...

    Will a broken toenail grow back?

    So I noticed this morning that a toenail on my big guy was cut off pretty far. Its not all the way off but about 60% of the nail is gone along with the black part on the top of the nail. When I was cleaning it, it did start to bleed. I rushed my fella to the bath tub and cleaned it off, put some...

    Is my Tegu "Kiju a true blue X red???

    Wow he's beautiful. I love the red on his neck and im a sucker for the black nose. Kaiju mostly has red banding on his belly and tail with the light blue on his back, I really hope he gets the black nose like yours. When I bought mine he was advertised as a "spiderman" too and the seller said he...

    Possible problems with D3

    The basking spot MVB is about 10-13" away, depending of if Kaiju has moved his basking log, and ive been keen on not blocking out the UVB. That was one thing I read about and made sure to prevent. Basically all his heat bulbs are hanging from metal bare shelving, if that makes since. He even has...

    Possible problems with D3

    Okay, i'll see what I can do. He has not gotten checked yet by a vet, as the closest exotic vet is about 3 hours away but its something I need to do. At first I believed the kinks in his tail are from bad constricting shed by the seller that I bought him from, but got worried when I read the...

    Possible problems with D3

    Great, thank you. Could his bottom lip being slightly open be a genetic thing or could it be do to the D3? He did not have it when he was little and ive only started to notice it now. I hope it does not cause any problems long term and maybe fixes itself. He doesn't have mouth rot or any...

    Possible problems with D3

    Hello everyone, Im new here but I have had my first Blue/Red tegu "Kaiju" for a little under a year now(I bought him as a baby in August last year). He went into hibernation for around 4 months last winter and is about 26-28", with still a bit of a green/olive head. He has been a great pet and...

    Is my Tegu "Kiju a true blue X red???

    Alright thanks for the info. Ive always been curious as too his size due to the "red" in him. I will say even after doing researching for over a year, its still a learning experience, but one Im glad to have had. Ive never owned a reptile that I daily have a routine when it comes to house...

    Is my Tegu "Kiju a true blue X red???

    Thanks for the reply. He does have a lot of white which I love along with a orange tail, but the characteristics just seem off. If he is a blue and red mix how big would anyone think he would get? Again thanks!

    Is my Tegu "Kiju a true blue X red???

    Hello everyone, im new to Tegu owning but did a lot of research and decided I wanted a B/W. Well last August I attended a reptile show and a seller claimed that he had received a baby called a "spiderman" from underground reptiles. He said it was a blue X red hybrid but never told me the...
