Just a thought? Not sure about it, but could be something triggered him. That was how I got my first bad bite. Tried to take my red outside on a leash to let him explore and on seeing me in sunlight puffed up and jumped at me biting my hand. I somewhat doubt it with the age but could be early...
Sorry everyone nevermind about this! I talked with my landlord and they said they would allow me to have the lizard as long as I paid for any damages it might do!? I don't know what kind of damage my tegu would do to a house, but I'm so excited sorry for posting this and everything. I've never...
Had the same thing happen with my juvenile red tegu. He’s alright in the house a little squirmy but if you take him outside he freaks out huffs and puffs starts hissing and than he tried to jump up and attack me. It’s just the sun. I don’t remember the exact video but the YouTube channel Clint’s...
Hello I have my couple month old red tegu Roshi and as it is starting to get colder where I live I noticed today that he spent the morning getting warm and than just spent the rest of the day burrowed and never moved out of that spot. He also didn’t eat any of the Dubai roaches I put out for him...
Alright so just an update to show everyone but I switched to a more soil mixture in their cage and the charging and aggressiveness is just completely gone. Roshi is back to being the lovable and cuddly tegu she was. They lay on their basking spot and just let me give them head scratches and neck...
So I have finally figured out what was wrong with Roshi after days of changing things I finally decided to get her out of the cage and examine her head to toe. I checked out her belly and I noticed her belly was all red and swollen. (At first I thought it was just her vent and that she had some...
Alright thanks. Just kind of skeptical of some things I’ve heard now. Uh since I don’t know Roshi’s sex, is there anyway once they are old enough to sex them?
I’ve noticed very different personalities. I’m really excited to move here in a few weeks to somewhere she can just be out and about in my room with me getting to explore without me being like no you can’t walk that way and stuff. I think it will really help the attitude. I did have one more...
I agree I feel like this is definitely something she wants so I’m gonna try raising and lowering some stuff and just getting her out of the cage more. I should also mention the cage is plenty big. It is a 3ft L x 2 ft W.
Oh the other thing I forgot to mention about why the seller seemed off. I don’t know when you can sex a tegu, but they were selling her as we know this is a female. I know typically baby reptiles are notoriously difficult or impossible to sex until they reach juvenile age, so I didn’t know if...
I mean I’m gonna assume probably something with her habitat to be honest or I need to give her more calcium as other than when she is in that cage she is fine. I have her out right now and she’s just kinda chilling with me before I feed her.
Yes I give her 2 or 3 dustings a week normally but I’ll try giving her one today and seeing if it makes her feel any better might need to do it more. I also have been having slight issues with feeding. She won’t eat almost any fruits and seems to only want crickets.
