Cookies update :D

[Kimmie]

I have never seen how much cookie weights or how big he is but here is it

He is 78CM if this is right lol

and he weights 1kg and 100gs do that sound right? xD

I dont know if the weight fits with his size I hope it does

Sounds off to me. 78 cm equals 30.7 inches and 1kg equals a little more than a pound. If he truly is over 30 inches long then hopefully he weighs more than a pound. Post some pictures if you could....we would love to see him!

 

[Kimmie]

but it is with his tail etc I will post some pictures when I find my cam

Hi Kimmie! Cookie is beautiful. I dont think you could ever take too many pictures of him!
I noticed that you have a heat rock in his enclosure. I would highly recommend taking it out. They can be dangerous for your Cookie. Many animals have severe burns from these rocks. A nice piece of slate under the basking light will do just fine. I hope you dont take this the wrong way, but I also think you need to start looking for a larger enclosure for him. His tank is VERY nicely decorated, but way too small for him. Please dont feel as if I am picking on you. I also had my guys in an enclosure that was too small, and thanks to the advice I was given on this forum I learned that they really thrive in a proper sized cage. Most recommed an 8x4x4 enclosure although some feel 6x3x3 can suffice assuming they are out alot. Cookie looks very happy...keep up the good work!

1 kg = 2.2 pounds. Looking at the pics, I don;t see the signs of an underweight animal. No loose bunches of skin, base of the tail appears to be good and thick. Nice tegu.

aww i thought this was about actual cookies =[

 

[tommyboy]

@ dragonmetalhead.... wasn't saying that the tegu was underweight. And i apologize to Kimmie if it came off that way. Hadn't even seen the pictures yet. I made the mistake of believing a co worker who told me a kilo was equivalent to a little more than a pound. The tegu does look extremely healthy and plump.
@ frost........lol. I was actually thinking the same thing originally!

Hiya Tommy and tyvm I dont take it offence I am planing on getting him a larger cage after I got my new PC I love buying something new but Cookie loves his heat rock can it get replaced with something else that he maybe can love ? ^^ the black lamp you see it not a 100% basking lamp it is a riptile sun the only thing I know is it is a heat lamp but it also good with light is it also a basking lamp? ^^

He looks great, I don't know if you mentioned it,I didn't see it, how old is he?

 

[Kimmie]

he is from 28/05/2012 that was when I got him but he was oki big he didnt had his green colors anymore ^^

You can get a flat, dark rock and place it under his basking light. He might enjoy laying on that as well.

Maybe I missed some info before, but you have a UVB light and his basking area has temps of 110-115? Having heat from above is more natural than heat from below and will help with his dependence on the heat rock.

I have a riptile sun atm the 3 other light lamps fills alot so I only have that one spot left but maybe I should put a spot lamp in instead of the ripti sun ? ^^
