    Dog vs. Tegu Diet

    I'm not planning on feeding the dog food itself as so much using it as a blueprint for making my own. Cheaper and more room for variety that way. I just want to know how many calories a tegu needs per day and how those should be delivered. I'd like to make my own mix using various meats I have...

    Dog vs. Tegu Diet

    Interesting, I've worked in pet care for two years now and owned exotic animals most of my life but I'm yet to find a detailed breakdown of a predatory reptile's dietary requirements. I'm really hoping someone makes one for tegus and/or monitors. Here's a list of the ingredients in one of my...

    Dog vs. Tegu Diet

    I know that the topic of feeding cat/dog/ferret/misc. mammal food to tegus has been hotly debated many times and I do understand that a tegu's dietary requirements are far different than any mammal's. My question is what should a tegu's daily intake of protein, fat, fiber, etc... be as compared...

    Chicken Coop/Hutch for Outdoor Enclose

    I'll just make my own then when the time comes. I'm thinking a half open, half insulated enclosure with greenhouse paneling and plywood.

    Chicken Coop/Hutch for Outdoor Enclose

    So I was just searching online for ideas for a outdoor enclosure for a tegu and realized that a lot of DIY enclosures are similar to pre-made chicken coops/hutches available at feed/hardware stores. Does anyone have any experience with these? I thought they would be perfect for semi-tropical...

    Considering a Tegu

    So what is the average size of one of tegusonly lizards? Do they have different genetics due to coming from wild Florida stock or are they just typical B&W?

    Considering a Tegu

    I will be, I'm looking closely at Underground Reptiles due to their good reputation and amazing looking animals. I've heard mixed reviews for tegusonly.com but I am interested in his CB hatchlings.

    Considering a Tegu

    Thank you, I've look at that website and its videos many times. While I like his prices, I'm a little more partial to blues and blue hybrids (even though they can be pricy).

    Considering a Tegu

    Hello! I'm a life-long reptile lover and keeper but I've always keep smaller reptiles. I've been slowly building up to something...bigger. I made the leap to monitor lizards with an Ackie over a year ago and I feel like I can take the next step. I know tegus are not the same as monitors but I am...
