    Healthy Boi Updates

    A 5 year old check in from the monster Bilbo Boi himself, he's doing fantastic in his adult age. He is much calmer and less picky now, he seeks out head rubs often while doing his explorations and likes to put himself back in his enclosure when he's done. He loves baths after years of hating...

    I need guidance with my tegu!

    Yay that's so good that someone else has had a good Betadine experience! I've also been told to not worry so much about small patches of stuck shed on the tail as its not a critical blood flow area but I would honestly be doing the same even if someone else says it's okay to let it come off. Who...

    Coconut oil- BAD will burn skin

    Yes I still don't know why it took me so long to put two and two together but the evidence is right there in the photos, coconut oil burns not moistens

    I need guidance with my tegu!

    Hey so I have an update on our struggle getting our B&W tegu to shed! We actually used about 1/8 teaspoon of Betadine (enough to make a lite tea) and bathed him once a week in that and then used a food processor to mash up his fruits and veggies and then spoon fed him the mash! But I'd highly...

    Coconut oil- BAD will burn skin

    Hey there! So we have been dealing with some serious shed issues and we had gathered that the problem was with his diet. Prior to discovering it was his diet we tried to remove his tail shed using coconut oil as we'd seen it suggested at least 100 times for stuck shed. We kept using it and...

    I need guidance with my tegu!

    Ugh yeah that's where I'm at too! I know it's gotta be his diet because he is so picky about liver and fruits /veggies for my guy at least. That's so strange that you're having the same issue! Bilbo has an affinity for turkey and fish so we feed him a LOT of fish and his humidity is 75-80%...

    I need guidance with my tegu!

    Hey guys! I know that this is super late on this thread but our two year old arg b&w male tegu has gone a year now without shedding and after a failed blood draw at the vet (not enough blood reaching the needle) we don't know his vitamin levels. But based on his super picky diet which he likes...

    One foot of growth within a year!

    We have not had the perfect year of husbandry that we had the year prior but after fixing some serious errors in our temperatures and diet, Bilbo is healthy happy and muscular instead of being a slow fat boy. Always be honest with your vet because they are only trying to help you be the best you can

    Sad :(

    Spending time with your little guy is the best tip I can give. Try singing songs to him, or just simply putting your hand in his cage without grabbing or chasing him, when he's out you can wrap him up in a towel or fuzzy blanket and hold him that way. I've found if you remove some of the sensory...

    Potty Training?

    Taking him out of his cage onto a bathroom floor or somewhere you can consistently go and waiting for him to use the bathroom and not letting him leave till he has is what helped us potty train. We feed him after he does his business to bring positive association with pooping outside of his...
