I'll try to poke around in the encolsure a little more, the thing is sometimes he could care less...

    Taming Older Tegu

    I have an older Tegu, by older I mean not a baby any longer my guess is less then a year old. Anyway he is quite nasty at times, and charges and bites me when I open his enclosure. Once i pick him up he settles down some, but more then once he has just snapped at me and well to be honest it...

    Oh NO! Xander has a prolapse

    I'm sorry to hear about your Tegu, but to automatically assume it was lll's fault for selling an animal seems a little unfair in my opinion unless you have concrete proof that was the case, and while I did not read your email I own several businesses and things happen, and people e-mail i'll...

    Tegu ate a rock

    Ok so we were outside enjoying some sun when I noticed my Tegu chewing on something i tried to get it away from him, but he swallowed it before I could. It looked like either a small rock or a piece of mulch. What should I do? will he pass it or do I need a vet?

I paid 54.00 for it, so make me a decent offer and Its yours, I didn't even fill out the...

    Basking Question

    Well I had a 150watt basking bulb non-uvb i set that up over his rock and added a repti-sun 10.0 flourscent strip bulb right next to it so it gives off the UVB he needs, the basking is at 101 to 105 now, so I'm guessing i'm all set. Only problem is I have a brand new used for like 1 hour mercury...

    Basking Question

    I have a basking bulb that keeps the spot at 105, but its not a uvb bulb, can I possibly mount a flourscent strip next to the basking lamp for the UVB that will output enough UVB for my gu, or should I just buy a new lighting fixture and bulb that does both at once? I will spend the money if...

    adult temperment

    Mine was a real pain in the a** for about 2 weeks, first he wouldn't come close to me, then the biting started (turned out the biting was the fruit scented soap I was washing my hands with, my wife is still laughing over that one) I did the t-shirt and he calmed down some after a few days. what...
