    Tegus spending inordinate amount of time burrowed?

    My colombian sleeps for about three days straight and if I'm not around when he's up, then he'll just stay out for a few hours to bask and run around in search of food. I'm typically able to catch him to feed him whenever he does come out. My Argentine stays out pretty much all day up until the...

    Lack of teeth on lower jaw?

    Next time she wakes up I'll have to open up her mouth and take a look. I know I can see both sets of teeth on my Colombian, so maybe it's an Argentine thing? Or Johnny and I are just blind... I know I almost am! lol

    Lack of teeth on lower jaw?

    Well, we were watching our B&W eat and Johnny noticed that it looked like it doesn't have any teeth on it's lower jaw. It's still a young tegu, only about a foot long, no green on the head and has a lot of scars and/or burns on its head. The upper jaw seems to have all of its teeth. Are the...

    Worried about my Tegu

    When Tiny comes home, I would use paper-towels for a while as the incision will still be vulnerable to infection. You could use regular light coloured towels that have been thoroughly cleaned as well. The lighter the colour, the better! You'll want to watch for any bleeding, and having the white...

    food help

    How old and how big is it? I've found that by feeding my gold tegu pinkies he became rather aggressive, so I'd avoid pinkies if he's still young and growing. Try feeding cockroaches, not ones that you find in your house though! Find someone that is selling dubia cockroaches or other...

    New Baby Savana

    I like the "I can haz crickitz" caption! It's so cute! I remember when mine was that big. She's growing fairly slowly, but she had some medical issues. She's still super aggressive and no longer gets paralyzed with fear... Instead she puffs up, tail whips and runs away. I suppose that could be...

    It looks like a Granite Spiny Lizard to me.

    True Yellow Tree Monitors Varanus Reisingeri

    Are you the person selling these on the recycler in So Cal? I wish I had the money to buy one! Also, if you are this person, what are those rare dragons that you have up? I've never seen them and am curious about their common/latin name.

    Tegu Food List

    I have an all natural fruit juice with no preservatives or chemicals in it (I read the label carefully!) it has Acai, Acerola (cherry), Aronia (Black Choke Berries, I think?), Cranberry, Passion fruit, Prunes (plums), Wolfberry, Pomegranate, Lychee, Camu Camu and Bilberry in it. It has some...

    No hard feelings. People have their own preferences (I love alligator lizards more so than any other lizard :) ). I was just wondering how much experience and research you've had/done with monitors. Most monitors don't really tame down at all, that and the majority is wild caught, not captive...

    Haven't Been Here in a While...

    And I, well my boyfriend, bought a new B&W Tegu! He hasn't named it yet, and I'm thinking it may be a female, but it's still too small to tell (I think). Anyway, its face is pretty beat up and its feces mostly consisted of coco fiber from being fed in the cage it was housed in, but that's all...

    Careful with the sav. Most are wild caught and have worms or mite infestations, not to mention a very fussy attitude. I was lucky that mine just had round worms and a horrible attitude. I've had her for almost a year and she still is no where near tame, she was basically fresh from the egg when...
