    New cage, asian water monitor acting very strange and aggressive. help please.

    Hello everyone. So ive had a wonderful little asian water monitor for about a year now. I got him as a rescue from a local animal shelter where he was simply labeled as " lizard". But I knew better, he was gonna be a big boy. As expected he very quickly outgrew the 50 gallon terrarium i had him...

    Argentinian Black and White Tegu (free) So Cal Local pickup

    Hello all, I just moved to a new place and space is fairly limited. I have several large reptiles and Im going to be unable to keep them all as happy as they deserve as a result of limited space and finances. I have a two year old male tegu. He eats voraciously and definitely has a bit of an...

    Tegu hasn't pooped in a while, then went into hibernation, should I be worried?

    So the past few months my tegu has been feeding pretty heavily on thawed small rats, grapes, melon, and to a lesser extent roaches ( hissing and dubia). The primary source of protein has been the small rats. In the months prior to that, the primary source of protein was ground turkey ( mixed...

    Questions on behavior

    Hello everyone, I have posted here a few times, mostly on issues of hibernation, this time I have a few other questions. So, I live in Southern California, which I want to mention just so you have a good idea about our average daily temperature. I got my baby tegu in December, and he has been...

    Do I feed my tegu? Just woke him up from hibernation

    He basked a little bit, and then he went back into his hide and covered up the entrance, which was what he did when he first went under, if you not mind me asking, do you have an opinion as to what I should do now?

    Do I feed my tegu? Just woke him up from hibernation

    So here's the situation. I just move to a new place so I didn't have much of a choice. I would not have woken up my little guy had I not been required to. I set up his new digs and immediately brought him over. He's been awake for about 45 minutes now and is checking out his new place and coming...

    Moving next week, should I wake up hibernating tegu?

    So I'm moving in a week, and my tegu has been hibernating since early December. I'm in Southern California, so the average daily temperature right now is between the mid 60s in the high 70s depending on the day. He was about 11 inches when I got him, very happy and healthy, but went right into...

    New baby tegu won't come out of hide and has covered up entrance of burrow

    So it's been a couple of weeks and he still hasn't come out, ( I did the soil trick and so far no disturbances). So I think it's a fair assumption that he's gonna be down for a while. Is it a fair assumption that the fact that he went straight into hibernation means he is quite comfortable with...
