I've had a female tegu for a few years. In the past I've had some tunnel style hides in her enclosure, but this year I upgraded her enclosure and her hides to provide a larger more enclosed area. I think the tunnel style hides may have let more light in and kept her from going into full...
I have had a cat that I let be around my tegu after a good long period of very close supervision (close enough that if the tegu made any sudden movements I could intervene, so pretty much sitting right next to them). I'll tell you the tegu had no interest in the cat, but the cat was super...
Instead of a traditional timer, you might consider a smart plug. You can set the timer manually pretty easily, or some of them can schedule to turn on/off at sunrise/sunset. This automates the seasonal change in light cycles.
Twice in the last week I've come home and found a puddle of translucent thick liquid in my Tegu's enclosure. It doesn't smell particularly, it's just thick and kinda mucousy. Both times shortly after I cleaned up his mess I came back to check on him and he'd had a really big, pretty dry poop...
I tried Megaray a couple years ago. I paid for the bulbs and then nothing for 3 weeks, despite numerous requests for updates. Finally after 3 weeks of silence, I got 3 weeks of "we hope to ship soon." When I finally got the bulbs, more than a month after the order, one blew out in 2 weeks. One...
I was shopping for MVB Bulbs on Amazon and came across a brand called "Blue Spotted": http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Spotted-Mercury-Vapor-Lamp/dp/B00PQ1HF8S
Have any of you ever heard of or used this brand?
It's not a "getting used to her" issue. It sleeps in bed with us (under a pillow), and if I had to guess the time split during the Tegu's waking hours I'd say it's probably 60/40 in my partner's favor. He definitely knows her.
I had thought it might be a hormone thing. We somewhat recently got...
I cannot figure out why my Tegu is suddenly trying to bite my partner.
He turned 2 in July and for the past couple months he's been making occasional attempts to bite my partner (the first couple times he actually did bite, but now we're on watch).
The weird thing is, he's not making moves to...
We recently had our Tegu bite one of us for no reason I can tell. Seriously, my partner was asleep in bed (the tegu is generally free roaming when we're home) and he just woke up, licked her a few times, and bit the side of her face. He's never displayed aggression before (he's 2, so that's a...
Our 2 year old tegu is free roaming when we're home (although he gets a bedroom while we're at work). We spend so much time with him, he'll often sleep with us like a cat or a dog when we're at home (right now our bed is on the floor while we're redecorating, and he'll crawl into bed when he's...
If I was asking for advice about how to keep my Tegu from getting out again, then I would agree with you that I hadn't included all of the pertinent information. Since I was asking for advice to lure him out, whether he's housed outdoors or whether I was with him were entirely irrelevant to the...
The situation was stated in the first post. My tegu got out through the fence.
I shouldn't need a detailed to-scale diagram of my back yard and my positioning to keep people from making the assumption that I'm just flinging my pets off into the woods. It seems like almost every time I see...
It seems that the majority of posters here have misunderstood. To clarify, he was not left unattended, I was out there with him the whole time, but he squeezed under the door and made it into the woods (literally a few feet from the backyard) before I could get him back. OBVIOUSLY he will not be...
Hi,
My Tegu squeezed out from under my fence about 5 days ago, and since then, I've tried everything I can think of. We've papered the neighborhood with fliers, put out havahart traps, torn up some pretty intense foliage and had not one, but 2 tracking dogs come out here to try and search him...
