    last bit of shed

    I've got a fog system at the top of her cage that keeps the humidity up there. And I can't even get a finger nail under the skin to try and help but even if i could that 10lb tail would definitely start swinging. I guess I'll try the baby oil because it is mildly evident in the size difference...

    last bit of shed

    She is at the point where she is not growing much. She is almost a year and 44" long. Her last shed was over a month ago and the second half of her tail still has the old skin on it and I am concerned that it may begin constricting her tail. She has between 70 and 90 percent humidity plus I...

    Need Advise

    I understand that were supposed to handle them everyday but we are also not supposed to remove them from hiding. Now what if they are only out when we get home a couple of times a week. I feel like my relationship is suffering because I can't handle her as much.

    myster vs. fogger

    chewie my 42" black and white argentine for jam x purdy is having trouble shedding and i'm almost positive that it is due to the humidity which i can't keep consistent above 60 percent. I want to get something for her but my wife in her infininite wisdom seems to think that a myster would work...

    Excersizing Your Tegu

    I take chewie out about 3-4 times a week to roam after she poos (otherwise it ends up on the carpet..not fun) it used to be every day but i just rescued a 3 yr old presa canario and she is still learning not to sniff and bother the gu so much.

    I use a 160w mercury vapor and a 75 watt infrared light at night, keeps her happy and warm.

    For everyone who has a Jam x Whitey Baby hatched on June 29

    I'm pretty sure chewie ended up being a girl but she's a hefty one at just over 37". She eats grapes, rasberries, her turkey concoction and small or medium rats depending on what the pet store has. I had her out the other day and put some small pieces of hotdog that my son didn't finish in my...
