    "Female" Problems

    My tegu is a female and she is very docile. It could be that we handled her a lot since we have had her. She's so great she even comes right up to us and looks up at us for attention. Good to know about the eggs, I wondered if they still laid the egss and they just were not fertilized without a...

    Feeding ?

    I read a lot of information and vitamin bottles that reference the Calcium Phosporous ratio 2:1. How do they get the phosphorous, is it through their diet or another vitamin supplement?

    Feeding ?

    Cool thanks Davedragon, that's good to know... Yeah, he's still kinda finicky eating. There were a couple days since we got him that he didn't eat anything....though on those days I did feed him a lot the day before. LOL We took him outside yesterday and he loved it! But I think it tired...

    Feeding ?

    Here are some pics...we are taking him to the vet for a check up in a couple weeks since we just got him. I think he looks okay and I don't know how old he really is but I thought the pet store said they had him around 6 months. Who knows how long or short that really is. When we measured him...

    Feeding ?

    I know mine was in the pet store for while before we brought it home. I hope I'm not worrying too much, it looked healthy to me and hopefully is not sick. Do they grow less if in a smaller cage? How can you tell if there may be a health problem?

    How Is Everyone's New Tegu Coming Along w/ Taming?

    Another question on taming...when you are trying to get them used to your hands and such, I know it takes a while but can they get too stressed out over efforts to move them into another feeding bin?

    Nail clipping

    Yah well I guess if their nails get really sharp then it could result in a bleeding owner...ouch! I wouldn't want that.

    Feeding ?

    Yes with the tail. I feed once a day but one of my friends said he feeds his 2x a day. Does it depend on age or is 2x daily okay if they eat smaller portions?

    How Is Everyone's New Tegu Coming Along w/ Taming?

    So if it's feeding time do you just wait until they come out of the ground before you try to feed them?

    Why do tegus....

    I've been trying to keep my B&W's temp in the right range (Day: 80-90F) but I noticed s/he was still burrowing. I am wondering if the burrowing is a sign of hibernation?
