    UVB reading on a T8 5.0 bulb without screen or lid

    I am currently building a new enclosure and installed a T8 5.0 UVB bulb inside without any blockage. I was wondering if anyone knew the Fergerson scale without the lid or screen in place on this linear t8 5.0. I don't have enough funds to buy a reader but I also don't want to put my tegu at risk...

    Hi I have a 2 year old tegu who weighs 13.5 pounds. She always crawls under my queen size mattress and it looks like it crushes her, but every time I move her out from under the mattress and sit on the bed so she can't crawl under it, she claws and scratches the side of the mattress trying to...

    24/7 Free Roaming Tegu, but still has Accesses to an Enclosure.

    Hello I'm new to TeguTalk. I've been doing research on Tegus because I am looking into getting one this year. There are many different debates on free roaming. I am planning on getting a juvenile b&w Tegu, and will provide a 4'x2'x2' enclosure for him/her(since I know they grow fast). Whenever...

    New tegu mamma- help in bonding

    My husband and I got toothless from a breeder recently and we just put him in his new enclosure the other day. He absolutely adores it! The breeder says he’s about one years old, but when we first got him he seemed really cuddly and wasn’t too spastic. It’s been a week now of having him, and it...

    Best way to get an accurate temperature read?

    Hi! I've been fumbling with setups for my red, and I've been trying to bump the temperature up over 100 degrees for some time now with a lamp of the proper wattage. Well I bought one, but my thermometer still read 94°f. That was when I figured. Maybe it's not actually my setup, but my...

    Is he a red?

    Hello! I'm pretty new to tegu care, and I bought from a prior tegu owner, who... Gave me very vague descriptions of the actual animal. I feel like they purchased him not knowing how big he was going to get, and wanted to get rid of him once they found out. I wasn't given a specific age (just...
