    How Not To See Me As Food?

    Thank you! If this continues on for the rest of the week getting a pair of gloves is something I’ll definitely do. The bites don’t hurt at all, just surprise me, but I don’t want him getting larger and attempting this still.

    How Not To See Me As Food?

    So almost two weeks ago I brought home my new baby Blue Tegu, he is about 5 months old. Every single day I have been taking my time putting my hand in the enclosure and letting him smell me and get used to me. He is of course skittish but he has come over a few times, smelt, bite me, and walked...

    Am I doing it right?

    Sounds like you're not doing anything wrong. You just need to work with what you have. Some people suggest handling from day one, some people suggest waiting and getting her/him used to you. Neither is wrong; it just depends what works for YOUR Tegu. In your case, I would continue to do what...

    Tegu taste test?

    My baby did that to me today too. Didn't really even press down hard, just kind of did a gentle little grip with his mouth then let go. I just remained calm and didn't flinch or make a sound. Just curious little things :)

    Preparing one week before getting a Tegu, need some advice

    I almost bought one from a few awesome breeders I found, but ended up purchasing a baby from a local reptile store. They recently got a baby Blue and I just couldn't pass up the coincidence. But there's: Jesse's Jungle, Tropical Reptiles & Exotics, Wildwood Reptiles, Rose City Reptiles...

    Live Fish for enrichment?

    I think you'd have to be very careful of the fish you buy since depending on what water they are in and the chemicals used to treat the water. Other than that I don't know enough about the subject to say, but I think it's an awesome idea!

    Humidity Too High?

    So I’m expecting a baby Blue Tegu soon. I have been experimenting with his enclosure this week in preparation. I currently have his basking spot at 113F, warm ambient is around 85-90 and the cool side is around 70-75. I have a Mist King set up and it reads the humidity at about 96% I’ve read it...

    "Super Blue" Tegu

    Thanks everyone for the response! I asked them directly and they didn't seem to know much. A little concerning... thank you again!

    Need help taming

    I don't have a Tegu yet, so you can choose to ignore this if you'd like, but I do have experience with introducing new animals to new environments. I would say for the first 1-2 weeks do minimal, if any, touching/handling. Go about your normal routine as you would if the Tegu wasn't there. Let...

    "Super Blue" Tegu

    I apologize right now since I'm new to this, but what is the difference between the "Blues"? For example one of my local reptile stores has a Red, Black and White, and "Super" Blue Tegu. I understand the red, but what is the difference with the other two? Here's a photo (sorry, not good quality)...

    Hi there!

    Hey! My name is Ashley and I'm brand new to the forum here. I currently don't have a Tegu yet but have been doing research for the past several months while thinking about getting one. I'm still a while from finally purchasing one as I want to meet a few adults in person so I can get a better...
