My male Golden Tegu " Anubis "

[Jonzin4Reptiles]

I know i haven`t posted in a bit so i thought i would do a little update on Anubis. I`m back to handling him every 2nd or 3rd day now, he still doesn`t like the intitial picking up thing, but once out he`s fine, very inquisitive.

My cats have taken an interest in him and i have made some improvements to his tank lid.

My cats will sit like this for hours .... it`s like thier own TV show lol

The renos ...

Before ...

After ... now has 2 flip up doors for better access, and hold humidity better ....

Cheers,

John

I think it is because of the "%20"s in this part of the URL in bold

The image tags can't handle it

I've copied the images and hosted them on my photobucket account for you for a while until you can fix it and just so everyone can see him

Nice Tagu by the way, I wish mine was that tame

Husbandry info would help and was he drinking before you saw what looked like snot in his nostrils?

When asking for help the more info you provide the better.

My husbandry with him has always been a battle since i rescued him. He came with a Tank as a home so humidity has always been an issue. I did rebuild the top so it wasn`t all screen like it came to me. His temp-s are great, his hot side depending on where he is ranges from 105ish to 110ish on top of his hide, cool side is 85ish, he gets clean water every mornin, and eats 40g`s of prepared ground turkey every 2nd day. It`s very hard finding good clean mulch up here so again i`ve kept him on what he was on when i got him which is a recycled cardboard balls sorta stuff ... it does hold moisture well and he loves tunneling in it, but my hunt still continues for some Cyprus mulch for his new enclosure i`m just puttin the finishing touches on, i`m hoping the new enclosure will solve my humidity problems.

It was the 1st time i seen him 2day so yes he prolly just finished his mornin drink. He also had some skin that didn`t come off his back feet so i gave him a soak for a bit. An he did sound better afterwards.

I`ve been in touch with my buddy/boss at the Reptile Zoo and he`s comin over 2morrow 2 do some swabs for testing, gonna do Anubis and his tank walls.
