    New Tegu Mom Needing Assistance!:)

    I had a Columbian that was very defensive. Always bit. Alot also depends on the animal and its individual personality. Beardies are always docile and a great beginner pet, but I found a hatchling at a show and brought her home. She never stopped hissing and biting. I think she was inbred a few...

    Re introduction

    I haven't been on this site in quite a long time. Not sure what I posted on before, but I'm sure it had something to do with my Colombian at the time. It wasn't a good fit between him and I so I found him a good home with a member of a local reptile group/forum. I however still wanted an...

    Taming #2

    I started a thread several days ago, but deleted it due to inactivity. I'm giving this a second shot since I would like some feedback on how I'm going about taming my Columbian. Anyway, he's very cage agressive. I spend a good amount of time sitting next to the enclosure with my hands inside...

    Hello

    Hey there. I just got a baby Columbian Tegu! I have several other lizards but have always wanted one of these guys. He's not a Argentine which was my first pick, however I think he will do. He seems fairly tame and easy to handle. Maybe a bit skittish when I touch his tail. He seems to be...
