    Problems removing tegu from cage

    Is raw chicken okay to give him once in a while? The last time he was out I had nothing else on hand so cut him a few small slices. He seemed to like them and chowed down on it. I also found a way to remove him from the tank with out disturbing him from his hide. He sleeps in a cardboard paper...

    I was having an issue with the humidity but sealed up one half of the tank's screen lid so it's staying around 50 to 60 percent. It was around 30 unless i misted but it would go right back down. Seems to be working better now. I am a little concerned that he may not get up to eat at all. If I...
