    Can I let my tegu free roam all the time?

    As in always leave the door to her enclosure open a bit and let her come and go as she pleases? I would keep her confined to one room. She's close to 3ft and spends a lot of time roaming our living room. She explores for a bit then goes back into her cage and basks for a bit then comes out...

    Ok, she ate again today. What a relief! I guess she is finally settling in. And no, I didn't cave and put food in her cage. ;) I've been letting her wander a bit in the living room. Just leaving the cage door open and let her come out. She is super cute. She makes the rounds, explores a...

    Hi everyone, I just got a 2 1/2' female (or so I'm told) B&W Tegu on Saturday. I've had other reptiles, but this is my first tegu. She is not eating much. She ate 2 adult F/T mice on Sunday, nothing Monday and 1 adult mouse Tues. The guy I got her from said she was eating 1 mouse + fruit...
