He's back from his follow up vet visit now (after the emergency visit that night.) He checks out ok, with no apparent lasting injuries. The vet thinks he may have given himself a concussion, but he should be out of the woods.
The only long term result is that now he's afraid of his feeding...
I was pulling my new B&W (Rufus) to feed him, and while carrying him to the feeding tub, something startled him and he leaped out of my arms and landed on the floor. He has done this many times before, but this time, he must have landed wrong. When I bent down to pick him up he was on his...
It sounds to me like your vet just bit off more than they could chew. Tegus aren't exactly common herps.
I hope you have better luck with the new vet, and I hope Sugar's condition improves. I feel your pain, I've got a milk snake that has been fighting an infection at his vent for going on...
Definitely take them to the vet. I *always* take new herps of unverifiable origin directly to the vet. A lot of people think it's unnecessary, but I'd rather pay a $37 premium on my herps (the standard office call at the vet clinic here), than risk an outbreak of mites, or worse. (I...

I've got a black and white male on order, my first tegu. It's also a christmas morning kind of feeling.
I've wanted one ever since I learned of their existence. Convinced the wife to let me get one this summer. I can't wait.
I'm getting my first tegu this summer (a B&W from Bobby), and it's basically my first lizard (I had anoles as a kid, but those hardly count.
Can I start my tegu off in his adult enclosure? Or will he need a small enclosure in order to feel safe.
My wife says she'd kill me if I took them (just took in a green iguana, chinese water dragon, and two adult ball pythons, all rescues), but I'm curious where you are, since your location says Massachusetts, and that's not midwest.
I keep snakes and turtles, and I'm getting my first tegu this summer. I also raise my own rats, gerbils, and fish as feeders.
When I got my first snake, I fed it a live mouse out of an infantile desire to see it "in action". It was stupid to do, and my snake ended up with a scratch on its...
