    R.I.P Dixie Rose

    It's not my first rodeo with tegus. I had a male argentine black and white for about 12 years, but he never hibernated.. I've been working with reptiles and animals for 14 years, kept and bred successfully everything from dart frogs to cordylus species to water dragons. I just don't know what...

    R.I.P Dixie Rose

    I had a bad feeling today, so I went to check on my little red tegu in hibernation, which I know is a no no, but I had an overwhelming bad feeling inspite of conditions all being fine. She had passed on. Temperatures were good, she had an empty belly before hand, water provided, but for some...

    Would she still be able to breed?

    Never mind, my little Dixie has passed away :'(

    Would she still be able to breed?

    If I woke my red tegu up after 3 months hibernating, what's her chances of being reproductively viable later in life? She's still a hatchling pretty much

    had to move and woke her up

    I want her to sleep as It helps in the breeding cycle as its natural to the lizard. I used to speak to Bert of Agama International about it all the time, he always recommended that tegus hibernate if they should choose too

    yea she tried to start coming out everyday but I lowered the temp and turned the lights out and she went back to sleep and haven't seen her since.

    had to move and woke her up

    So I had to move apartments and unfortunately the move woke Dixie out of her hibernation. she went right back to sleep, and wasn't seen the next day, but this morning she was out basking. will she go back into hibernation? I'm concerned

    New Red

    I now have a new red tegu named Dixie Rose, she is still flighty, and has bitten my gf once, but seems to be settling in nicely. she eats two mouse pinkies every other day and a tegu meatball( ground turkey, hardboiled egg, papaya all ground up in a paste and frozen in balls) every other day, as...

    Hey New Here

    Hello Everyone, My names Jim and I'm new to the site, since its been updated from a few years ago anyway. I used to have an Argentine Black and White Tegu named Tybalt, but I hit a rough patch in my life and had to sell him a few years back. I am now ready (and financially stable) enough to...
