    Reptilinks

    That's too bad. I've been getting the Mega-Blend + Fruits and Veggies for my Tegu (Carlita) for about 6 months. That's basically the only thing she eats now. I was giving chicken gizzards and hearts too but she started getting fat because of them. I do have to say though, they're pretty expensive.

    UVB Levels and Growth rates

    Sorry, I guess I should have specified with the measurements. The cage is 72"x24"x26". The light is laying flat on the top the cage. I think I'm going to have to get a 160w Power Sun depending on the UVB requirements.

    UVB Levels and Growth rates

    So, Carlita, my Argentine Black and White Tegu that I've owned for about four months now has only shed one time as doesn't really look as if she's growing at all. Could this have to do with UV lighting? I'm using a 100w Powersun and I don't have a platform yet but plan to build one soon. My...

    New large enclosure design

    She seems to do ok. Every time I take her out to let her roam or feed her she's nice and toasty feeling. Currently, I've got a 100w powersun that's in the center (which I should probably put to one side) and 2x 100w. When I build the 8x4x4 though I plan on having 2x 36" Arcadia T5 14% UVB bulbs...

    New large enclosure design

    Yeah, I need to build a platform for him but for right now he just climbs up onto the hide and bask there. She seems to do fine. Whenever I hold her she's nice and toasty. It's a 100w power sun but I think on the next build I'm going to have 2x 36" Arcadia T5 14% bulbs along with a 150w bulb for...

    New large enclosure design

    Here's a picture of what she is currently in. This was back in November. She brumated for about half of December and all of January. The water bowl is now in the far left corner and Carlita loves to burrow underneath it. To the left is the cage for my Frilled Dragon. He's pretty awesome...

    B & W Tegu age

    Ok, so she could possibly be 14 months old then. How old are they until they are fully grown?

    Unfortunately I didn't have the foresight to measure her. She's only shed once since then if that's any help.

    Tegu cage

    Well that's some crap! It's a shame that so many people take advantage of others. It's happened to me and I know how bad it sucks. Hope it gets resolved and you finid yourself another tegu from an honest source.

    New large enclosure design

    That's awesome dude! Where did you get the glass and how did you set it up? I've been looking online for plexiglass but it is stupid expensive. How many nozzles do you have set up? I have the Mistking Ultimate and my Tegu is in a 6 X 2 x 2 aquarium with 4 nozzles. I have it going off 5 times a...

    Hey

    Thanks Walter1! She (if in fact that's it is a she) is amazing. I've never had a reptile that I had such a strong bond with. That may sound pretty crappy of me to say, but it's the truth. On the topic of the questionable sex, I think I'll post some pics of her/his underbelly to let the experts...

    B & W Tegu age

    I got my Tegu (Carlita, formerly Carlos) in October and at the time was under the impression that Carlita was 6 months at the time. That being said, she is 27" in overall length and I was wondering if anyone could give me a good idea if what I was told is correct and if not, someone could give...

    Hey

    Sorry for the late response. I've got a few pictures to upload. Turns out that Carlos might be a Carlita though. I did some looking into sexing and saw that sex can be determined by the scales next to the vent. I didn't see/fell the large and rough scales so I'm thinking that he is a she. And...

    Hey

    I do. Dude is too awesome to let anything happen to him.
