    Tegu with enclosure for sale NJ

    I have a black and white Argentine Tegu for sale. She is approximately 3.5 years old. She is completely tame and has been part of reptile shows. She gets along well with cats and is always very docile. She has never bitten or hissed. She comes with her enclosure so you would have to come and...

    Hello! Introduction I guess? Any help would be appreciated!

    Greetings reader! So, I appreciate you reading this: To start, let me introduce myself. I currently own a harlequin crested gecko, about a year old. His name is Toothless.

    TegusOnly full review!

    Just got my sub adult tegu from Rodney! Side note if you don't know, TegusOnly takes invasive Tegus out of Florida's ecosystem, where they're vetted and sold as pets rather than being destroyed. Communication with Rodney: 10/10 Super quick responses. We bought the sub adult a few hours after...

    My tegu seems to be aggressive lately

    Well I believe my tegu was abused or at least mistreated before I got him. When he was handed over to me he struggled and scratched my entire arm all the way up.. then when he was on the transport bag he was fine and calm I rubbed him and he was ok. Then we got him home let him roam our 6,000 sq...

    I can't get my Columbian to eat anything except protein

    Hey folks, I'm very new to the Tegu World and I'm a little concerned about my juvenile. I received her as a rescue about a month ago, and from her size I'm guessing she's about 4 months old. She eats and sheds well, and is very docile considering how young she is. The only problem is that she...

    How Do You Seek Specific Gender Tegu if Baby is Wanted?

    Hey all! I understand that tegus are difficult to sex when young. What do you do when you're seeking a specific gender (e.g., for breeding) but want to acquire a baby tegu rather than an adult? Are you just supposed to take a guess and hope the 50/50 is in your favor? If cost were not an...

    How can I regain a Tegu's trust?

    So i'm a new Tegu owner and got my baby Argentine Black and White about 3 months ago. Everything started off well, first few days he was scared and shy but then started getting used to me and then got comfortable enough to let me handle/pet him and he started coming up to me and any other person...

    Great Reptile Vid by Clint's Reptiles

    And it features Gus-Gus the Black and White Argentine Tegu! And lots of other reptiles but it's so nice to see a Youtube channel focusing on education and not "I got another pet" and "I bought costumes for my pets." Here's Clint's video on Black and White Argentine tegus: (featuring...

    How Often Should I Feed My Tegu

    I would like to know how often I should feed my tegu. I've been reading on here that you should feed them every day. But if they're fed daily, how do they not get overweight? Obesity is a real problem for these lizards. Even with the proper basking spot (120) and humidity (60-70), I think a...
