    Weird walking?

    My baby has had quite a few issues (shed and other) since I've gotten her at 7 months old. Shes about a year old now and just this morning I noticed her walking weirdly in her one leg. She is doing this weird kicking whenever she picks it up. Is is she trying to get stuck shed off?

    My tegu is over a year old and is still at about 41cm. I do not know his sex yet, but I presume that he is a male due to the cloacal region. A few things to note: 1 - Until 7 months I fed him mainly neonates, which don't have lots of calcium on them. After that, I started chopping up big mice...

    Stuck Old Shed

    I have just recently obtained a tegu not even a week ago and I have noticed a couple of issues, such as some old shed stuck to the top of the base of her tail as well as some of the toes looking like her nails might just fall off.

    Am I over feeding or could she be impacted?!

    We recently got a tegu and she's amazing. She's still super skittish but she's getting better with handling. She's in a 4x2x2 right now while we build her forever home but I noticed today when I went to get her that she looks way chubbier than she used to. I feed her fruit, dandelion greens...

I also...

    Worried tegu Mom and desperately need help.

    My argentine red tegu Macklin has not been himself for days. He seems sluggish, tired, eyes barely open if not half open. Not as interested in eating as usual. He ate a bit of a pinkie mouse and only the yolk of an egg yesterday. I'm thawing some salmon now to see if he'll eat some more. I have...
