    Humidity during hibernation

    I’ve heard different things about this topic so I would like to clear this up. Do tegus need proper humidity while they are down during hibernation. I love the channel “Rose City Reptiles” and he said that tegus do not need humidity while hibernating but I have also heard other things that...

    Gender?

    Is there any way I can find out the gender of my tegu? The vet "thinks" it's probably a girl. We bought it December 2018 from a pet store, the store bought it in August from a reptile show. The vet thinks our tegu is approximately 20 months. I measured him/ her today and it was 3 feet 2 inches.

    Would love some information on hibernation! I can’t find anything anywhere!

    So my 4 month old tegu has been showing all the signs of going down for hibernation over the winter but I worry because the breeder I got him from said that babies within their first year won’t go down for hibernation. I also know that he has been slowing down on food and sleeping a lot. I know...

    Weird scale patches, please help!

    Hi everyone... So I have an otherwise healthy and extremely active tegu. He eats like a pig and seems healthy, but a few weeks back he developed these weird patches on his back. They don't seem to be spreading, but they won't go away either... He's been to two different reptile vets, and been...

The breeder I bought him from said he was 4 months old but the tegu is only 15” head to tail. He doesn’t...

    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...

    Tegu Brumation/Future Breeding?

    Hello all, we have an Argentine B/W female who is supposedly 9 months old (had her for two) but we think she is wild caught from the Everglades (scars on body and yellow/orange belly).

    My snugglebear Fafnir

    I got Fafnir back in January from Tegusonly/ Rodney, and he's been honestly the biggest sweetie from the second he arrived. Snuggled with me straight out of the shipping box, and has stayed affectionate since. Super recommend Rodney for beautiful animals like him!!

    Tegu impaction/constipation

    Hey - I just wanted to report an event we had with our 2 yr old male (Skully) this past weekend. He's O.K.....thank God! I noticed late last week that he hadn't gone to the bathroom. I didn't panic until - by Sunday - he really didn't look good. Eyes were dull, activity was zilch, and he was...

    HELP - Tegu escape!

    yes, this is another Tegu escape thread. She escaped once before and stayed put right where she got out on the counter. We decided to put heavy weights on the top of her enclosure as an intermediate bandaid until we could get her a bigger enclosure. However one of us I guess had a brain lapse...

    Question about parasites

    Hi everyone. First post here. So, I just bought a baby Argentine red from underground reptiles. I keep it in a 40gal with a powersun 100w. I bought an Exoterra that kept hermit crabs from a thrift store. It came with a fake plant and a hide. I washed them, and let them soak in hot tap water...
