    new tegu, fungal infection-

    okay, so i got the betadine yesterday, and soaked him today in it. Will be doing so again before bed. I am still using the silvadene. I wanted to ask if i could use althetes foot creme. I figure its more specicically geared towards fungal infection care. he doesnt have any issues on his head or...

    hey guys, This weekend I am getting a new tegu from a friend who can no longer care for him. :( He is 5 months old, about two feet long, and has a fungal infection on his belly, one rear foot, and on his tail. It started with cracking on his tail, and belly from a resistant, cruddy shed...

    age question-

    she has a huge cat box thats always full of water, and i use a pump mister and soak the cage twice a day, and sometimes i even pour some water directly into the cypress and then turn the bedding. i cant seem to keep the humidity up. i considered using eco earth, but every time ive used it in the...

    age question-

    the fact that she could still be growing is encouraging:] I really dont mind if she stays small though. She can be however she wants, ugly, small, gorgeous, fat, big, brown, or white. I dont care, as long as shes happy and healthy:] I just wondered what you guys thought. here's some more...

    a few quick questions (and new cage pictures!)-

    In short, she as kept poorly. Her first owner was very close with her, but didn't keep her properly. She was out most of the day, with lamps just clipped around the house for her to get warm. So no real humidity, and so on. As far as what she fed her, i have no clue. She had MBD because of the...

    Bloated tegu-

    My temps fluctuate right now because we just built her a new cage, and its not sealed yet. (no top) I have the probe on the rock she lays on to bask, so i can get the temp right at her level. and she has a 120 basking (zoo med i think?), and a 10.0 exo terra repti glow. she also has a red heat...

    Bloated tegu-

    So even though she feels squishy with air, you still think its just being full? She feels like a balloon with not enough air, not like a full heavy belly. I will go ahead soak her though. I tried to get her to soak after eating the other night, but she climbed right out of her bowl. Could she...

    Hey guys, i have a three year old female b&w Argentine tegu. She last had a small poop about three days ago (1/25) and i'm sure she went, because it was on my carpet.... The next day (1/26) i fed her a hard boiled egg,and a VERY small jar of organic baby food peaches. She ate nearly all of...
