    HELP

    We brought Owen home about 2 months ago now. He's doing just fine. This forum is the best source for information on the web (check out thetegu.com also). We are newbie's as well, and this site has MANY accomplished owners (herber's , herbster's, herbsomethingers, whatever). Don't mean to pick on...

    Owen eating bedding

    Thanks for the responses everyone. Owen seems to be just fine. Eating like a pig (or Tegu). Eliminating waste just fine. I thought perhaps Nick was mistaken until I saw Owen eat a small piece as well. I do believe it's caused by food particles being in the substrate. We'll use the feeding bin...

    Update:6x4x4 Pictures

    Used Drylok. Many coats. Then just used duct tape to seal the seam. We've been having trouble keeping the humidity up. James.W suggested we may have too many vents, so last week we covered up the six vents across the back. Again with duct tape. Still not holding humidity. Will cover up...

    New Tegu Enclosure

    Thanks, All the credit should go to a grandpa named Darwin. He's an acquaintance of our's grandfather. He lost his wife of 56 years 5 months ago (his martini partner, his words, not mine). Our friend said her passing hit him really hard and he has nothing to do to occupy his time but sit and...

    New Tegu Enclosure

    16 snakes? I know how to cut down on the 3 cats. JUST KIDDING!! We have 2 Himalayan cat's as well. Not sure how much they eat or for that matter what they eat. I do know how to get rid of our daughter's hamster though.... Only kidding Marina.

    New Tegu Enclosure

    Almost done. [hr] Hopefully I'll finish trimming out the enclosure this weekend. Measure 4x's cut twice lol. We have it set up in our son's room, under his loft bed. Trying to get a group shot of bed and enclosure but I didn't realize how small his bedroom is. Owen seems to be acclimating...

    Tegu Bedding

    We ended up purchasing 8 10 quart bags of mulch from an exotic animal store in Milwaukee. I believe they bag their own, no labels. $3.00 per bag. Some larger pieces that we just picked out by hand, definately not pulverized as much as the name brands. When I went to check out, the owner of...

    Burrowing?

    Our Red Tegu Owen the past couple of days has been knocking over his plant and digging big holes(spraying dirt everywhere,including in his water dish). I have 3 theories,1) Trying to burrow. 2) Looking for food, but i feed him 2-3 times a day. 3) Or he is trying to make space in his tank, but we...

I"ll order up some of...
