    What's on my Tegu's head??

    It's not really on the scar it's self but a scale near it. It has gotten bigger. He didn't have it from what I saw when we first got him. He just shed a few days ago and it's a bit bigger now. The discoloration itself isn't rough or feel like a scar or dead scales, just looks like an ink stain.

    Chacoan or argentine?

    All are really great animals, all comes down to personal preference really. I'd say go with Chacoan because they are a little more rare especially there in Canada. Maybe possibly get a mate for it some day?

    What's on my Tegu's head??

    So my boy Teegee has had these scars on his head since we got him. He was a wild caught Florida tegu so in unsure of what caused them. He has one on his nose and the top of the head. I've been noticing some discoloration on the scales around the scar on his head. It literally looks like someone...

    HELP! POOPing problems :(

    You sure it wasn't just his hemipenes? Males tend to push them out in the process of going to the bathroom. My boy will drag them on the ground and remove sperm plugs after he's done his business.. Lovely :rolleyes:

    Maternal Incubation

    So I've been sort of curious if anyone has attempted or heard of anyone attempting to let their female Argentine take care of her nest. From what I've read they're very good mothers, and will even burmate with the babies. My main concern is if she'll feed while guarding her nest or refuse up...

    My tegu smells terrible!

    Thank you very much! I couldn't find anything about it and it was a bit odd that he smells this way. I'll definitely give him a sponge bath and update you on how that goes. I never wanted dogs because of that doggy smell, but yet I end up with a lizard with just that haha.

    My tegu smells terrible!

    I haven't heard about tegus having a smell to them. I'm not sure if they all do or of mine is just weird. He smells like a wet dog. I bathe him and it only makes it worse. When he's dry it isn't noticeable until I handle him. But there are days where he'll stink up the room with that wet dog...

    Tegus Only

    This is my first post on this forum. But I currently do not have a phone that's activated. So I'm relying on email. I hear he responds rather quickly but I haven't had that experience, even in the past.

    Tegus Only

    So I have been hearing mixed reviews of Rodney Irwin at TegusOnly. I emailed him to see what he has available and he sent me a photo of one individual. I asked if he had what I was specifically looking for and no response. Seeing as he doesn't post individuals on his site, he should be able to...
