Ok I believe I've figured out whats wrong. My tegu is breathing like that right now, but he/she just finished eating a fat mouse. Its tummy is pretty full. So my conclusion is when a tegu eats alot, the lungs can not fully contract, because their isn't enough space. The amount of food in its...
I tell you bro, I tried owning Blood Pythons, Carpet Pythons, to suppliment for the loss. But their isn't another reptile that anyone can bond with like a gu. Never again will I give them up, I could be homeless bro, never again.
No problem Bro! My gus are only 3 months now, but they eat well. I had a 3 yr old gu, that I had on this feeding schedule and it did good for him. I gave him up, because I moved and didn't think I would have the space to keep him, but months later after furniture and everything is in place...
I mean, not really, to get my gu to eat some veggies and fruits, I sometimes put them in a small bowl with egg yoke all over them. So egg yoke is raw, its just to messy to let them crack the egg open and let them lick it. Plus its not SOLID food. I think people cook it just to make it solid. But...
Well from off the top of the head I know:
Ground Turkey-Raw
Chicken Gizzards
Chicken hearts
Chicken liver
Chicken Breast
Tilapia<<<<<mine love this!
Shrimp (remove the hard shell)
Scrambled egg (no seasoning)
Boiled egg (let it cool off, no seasoning)
Thats all I can think of for now, I saw a...
All tegus are different, they will hibernate when they want to. Now, you can choose not to let them by waking them up. But thats not recommended, and just because you wake them up doesn't mean they will eat or be as active as you want them to be.
Thanks Bobby! I think you could be right again, because they're both eating well, but the B&W is growing at a faster rate then the red. Isn't it true that males grow faster than females?
Yes you got it. Thats why i say your guy must of hibernated, he would have some sort of jowls by now.They will continue to grow for life, after 3 years their just about full size, they just grow much slower after this. But you got it!.
Oh i almost forgot to mention!! Your tegu could be a year old but that may not make him an adult yet, especially if he hibernated. So let me rephrase my entire statement, a tegu that has not hibernated can grow to an adult size in 18-24 months. Those that hibernate might take a little longer. I...
Hey Christina. Reptiles, as im sure you know never stop growing.They grow their entire life span. As far as a tegu goes I would say you can consider them an adult at 18 - 24 months of age. But I'm sure your tegu will continue to grow beyond that, just at a slower rate. Hope this helps.
