    Tegu's front legs seem misshaped, could a fall when (s)he was younger have caused it?

    Hi guys, I haven't posted in about a year, since brumation lasted a little longer than expected. So the Gu's have been getting plenty of sunlight in the yard, plenty of calcium (w/o D3), and eating perfectly. However an issue one of my tegus had back in October is still present, I figured it...

    My Tegu has strange bulges on his front legs.

    Ah that's very true i never considered her lack of jowls.. though i figured maybe (s)he just wasn't old enough yet. (S)he's about 19.3 inches long. Purchased her when she was a little 5 inch baby. Here's a pic of her next to a measuring tape. Is it possible my Red, who was sold to me as a...

    My Tegu has strange bulges on his front legs.

    Hey guys, haven't posted here in a while, since everything was going great, but it seems as though my Chacoan Tegu i've had since he was only 3-4 weeks, has strange growths on his front legs. I've tried to figure out if it's maybe a calcium deficiency or maybe even too much calcium, but it's...

    New Red Gu!

    So she let me hold her for a brief moment 2 days ago, i managed to give her a nice lukewarm bath that got rid of some of her shed, along with my other tegu. They both seemed fond of eachother. I let them back into the enclosure together, and the first thing they did was bask on top of one...

    New Red Gu!

    Humidity tends to stay pretty high in my room, around 60s, but since it's been getting warmer outside the tanks have been drying out quicker. Although that could be because of the 115+ degree floodlight i have in there. I really like the look of the fog so i tend to keep it on for a solid 20...

    New Red Gu!

    Okay great thanks, i'll keep the humidity on high. I'd give her a soak but she doesn't trust me yet it seems, i keep approaching her like i did my Chacoan i got back in July, but i keep forgetting he was like a month or 2 old at the time, she's easily 7-8 months i feel like. So it may be a...

    New Red Gu!

    So she has some stuck shed about 50% up her tail, you can see it in the pic above. I've bought a repti-fogger that works wonders, but it doesn't seem to be helping her shed. I don't even think she knows it's on there. Normally i'd do the warm bath/olive oil combo and remove it myself, but ever...

    Chacoan Red Tegu

    My new Chacoan Red is absolutely stunning, her red is so vibrant, and she's a sweet heart.

    New Red Gu!

    Hey guys, so as some of you may know, i recently had to return a small baby Red Tegu due to an issue with her leg. I got my refund and decided to spend it elsewhere, i recently received the new baby Red, which was sold as a Chacoan/Paraguayan Red, but it doesn't make much of a difference to me...

    Okay so i need help ASAP, my new baby Red Tegu has a defect or something wrong with her wrist

    Yeah i probably won't be buying from them again, but i do hope they get her all the help she needs so she can be rehomed asap. And thank you!!! As soon as i get home i'll be posting tons of pics! She's so vibrantly red it's insane!

    Okay so i need help ASAP, my new baby Red Tegu has a defect or something wrong with her wrist

    Yes, they were very nice about it. I've never had to return an animal before, so i was expecting an ordeal, but luckily it went very smooth.

    Okay so i need help ASAP, my new baby Red Tegu has a defect or something wrong with her wrist

    Hey everyone, so i wasn't able to come by anywhere willing to do an x-ray, and due to Covid concerns i couldn't go too far out. I sent the shipper a detailed description of her issue, and they said they'd take care of her, so hopefully things go well. I went ahead and shipped her back 2 days...

    Okay so i need help ASAP, my new baby Red Tegu has a defect or something wrong with her wrist

    Ah yes, her forearm, it's confusing since they're 4 "legged" lol. I wish modern vets could train in the groups of animals not often kept by people. But i understand that's a ton of training and reptile keeping is still considered an exotic hobby.
