I think I am getting a tegu for christmas and I have been doing some research. I will spend a lot of my time with the tegu outside of his cage but I'm afraid of him pooping on my carpet upstairs. I can't take him downstair too much because my parents don't like any type of reptile. The only tile upstairs is in the bathrooms. Although we have quite a big balcony that I was thinking about taking him out to a lot. I can't let him roam around the house because I am very afraid something would happen to him or he will get lost in something. So I will have my eyes on him at all times, but when he poops on the carpet i will have to pick it up and this will be a problem when he gets bigger. I have heard it stinks but what is their poop like? Is it easy to pick up?
