    Crazy Tegu waking me up at 5 A.M.

    Hi guys, my tegu Gilbert keeps hitting and scratching at his door to be let out  really early in the morning, before his lights have even come on. The first time he did this was around 6:15 and was shortly after daylight savings. I didn't let him out because tegus are smart and he'd keep doing...

    Year old male b&w tegu

    hi! I have a male b&w that Im looking to rehome. He was most likely caught as a baby down in South Florida where I live so he does have some old scars as well as some cool orange and yellow coloring on his back. He’s not really aggressive, I would say he has a normal temperament for a tegu his...
