    Laying on side/back

    I just recently noticed my one year old male tegu (Salamence) will sometimes lay on his side. Earlier tonight I noticed him using the bathroom and then rolling onto his back. Has anyone else ever experienced this or know if it’s something I should be concerned about?

    My new 6-8mo red tegu

    Yes I would agree 100% with his jowls looking like they’re starting to fill out. That’s good to know one far as his weight overall. I was getting a tiny bit worried with different articles or posts I’ve been reading up on. As far as comparing him to them mentioning slowing down their eating...

    My new 6-8mo red tegu

    He wasn’t too particularly thrilled about me moving around him while he was eating, but seemed to mellow out once I finished cleaning out his enclosure. Does he seem overweight? He should be roughly 9mo now.

    Tegu first time hissing

    Hi there! I’ve only had my 9mo boy Salamence for 2mo now, but from what I’ve looked into I believe mine and yours are starting the brumating process. I agree with the other comment about “forced cuddle” time as a means to not encourage bad behavior, because sometimes they’re acting like a child...

    My new 6-8mo red tegu

    I can actually see a play by play of that unfolding in my head right now. They definitely deserve an Oscar for best dramatic performances! Glad no one was injured that day. I’m glad you mentioned that last part about him not being back outside since that incident. I’m learning to separate what...

    My new 6-8mo red tegu

    I ordered a pet carrier that came in today, so I took him out with me and it was a completely positive experience for us both. He didn’t thrash and freak out any. He was a total saint until we got back home. I put him back in his enclosure and went to pet him good night and he did the tail whip...

    My new 6-8mo red tegu

    Sorry for the late response but the plastic tote I had them in didn’t have a lid. I just had it placed inside of a tall box, but I did find out it was apparently from dusting them and was told to only dust what I’m going to feed in a sitting because the acid (or something like that) in the...

    My new 6-8mo red tegu

    Thanks for the feedback and I must say I love your tegu whispering commentary because I swear based on the look he gives sometimes I could totally see him thinking something like “I’m a grown a** tegu.” To avoid the preservatives I’ll just stick to mice and will try the ground turkey and mix...

    My new 6-8mo red tegu

    Right right. I’m thinking of meeting in the middle and going with 7mo. I was thinking of starting to add meals with bones into his diet. I was thinking about trying non seasoned sardines. Thoughts on that?

    My new 6-8mo red tegu

    Oh absolutely agrees lol. By any chance based on the recent pictures I just posted, can anyone help me guess his age? I was told he’s about 6-8mo old

    My new 6-8mo red tegu

    Thank you!! I’m very grateful to this site. It’s helped give me extra insight from other tegu owners that I don’t get from watching videos on YouTube. I even managed to hold him and he walked up my shoulder. He started getting fussy after a minute or two so I put him back, but hey that’s some...
