Hard time maintaining hot spot

[ccole93]

Really? Because I put my BRB in her current cage when she was small and she did nothing but hide and bite me whenever I tried to check on her. I've already tried putting the tegu in his cage and he did nothing but hide in a corner and hiss at me. Hm, wonder why? I'll figure it out myself.

You probably haven't provided sufficient substrate or objects to hide in/under but that's another useless debate that you'll likely get offended by and gain nothing from. You asked, we answered, you didn't like it so you threw a fit.

Grown woman, she says. I know what I'm doing, she says.

Keep doing what you're doing and stop asking for help if you won't accept the facts given. You are clearly a guru on the subject.

No, this is an ongoing problem in forums like this. I'm in a reptile group on Facebook and we frequently discuss how abysmal these forums along with the other tegu forums are. It's not hard to deliver advice politely. Well, for most people it isn't, but it seems like many of you are much worse than most people.

Anyway, thanks for nothing! I got the basking spot up and Smaug has emerged, thanks to my friends on Facebook!

It's not hard to accept advice politely either, but you sure seem to have problems with it.

 

[ccole93]

It is when you're being unnecessarily rude.

 

[TegusRawsome80]

I'm pretty sure this started when YOU went after TeguBuzz and called HIM rude after he offered the advice that your enclosure is not generally suited to a tegus needs.

 

[ccole93]

Do you have any advice to offer or are you going to continue pushing a useless argument? I'd like help with my lizard minus the attitude. If you have no advice, you're getting off topic and ruining my thread.

 

[TegusRawsome80]

I thought you already solved the problem? Why would you want my advice?

 

[TeguBuzz]

My first post in this thread was direct. Why write you a large paragraph stating the same thing to make it sound nice when I can post something that only takes up one line and deliver the direct point.

If you think this forum is aggressive - you are quite wrong "buddy". Come see me at one if the monitor forums, you'll make a lot of friends there - sarcasm noted. Have fun with your friendly fairy friends over on Facebook.

 

[ccole93]

So so sad. Thanks for nothing.

 

[TegusRawsome80]

A real tragedy.

I'm not sure if this thread is all done, but as anyone who has spoken with me knows i had niles in a 40gal wide breeder when I first got him in sept. He was like 16 in when i got him and was 18in in oct when went down for hibernation. I used a uvb bulb in one dome and bask light in other...but when it blew out I used a reg 100watt bulb and he used to bask fine under it. I also had a heat pad positioned under the tank. I use this method for my beardy too. Now this was only temporary, mind you...while building his big cage, and because he was hibernating pretty much since I got him it was fine. However, i took him out to eat, explore, snuggle every day. Oh i also had a reptifogger positioned into the tank in the center. It really worked well for that size tank. I actually had to shut it off periodically. On the cool side of tank I had a pillowcase folded in half over the screen, all the way up to the light domes. It helped contain some of the heat and humidity. Now mind you this was temporary and a would not recommend a larger tegu to be kept this way. Niles is 'still ' hibernating. For two days he's been getting up (at night for some reason). I decided to put him into his big cage though instead of waiting for him to fully wake up. I felt he was big enough at 18in . Oh and he was a jumper when in the tank.haha. like if he saw me he'd get excited and jump and hit his nose on the screen to come out. I was lucky to get a tegu that loves being held so i would never recommend keeping any animal with no screen top! Asking for trouble. Just my input.

For temporary its ok we all know but to keep heat and humidity u have to cover about 80% of the lid
