    Can a baby tegu eat raw turkey breast steak?

    Why not? Salmonella is a lot rarer than Americans think it is and the salmonella genus doesn't make reptiles sick the same way it does humans.

    Ants in enclosure!!! Please help

    Borax. Insects breathe through holes I the carapace called spiracles and this stuff blocks them up. I'd just put the gu in a bucket, throw out all the supplies strate, add fresh and put any traps around the enclosure.
