I recently picked up a young Red at a local exotic shop and I have a few slight concerns. I breed ball pythons so reptiles arent foreign to me but this is my first tegu. I have had him (or her) for a few weeks and he seems very healthy. My main concern is that her seems to burrow and hide a lot. I am using a soil substrate rather then cypress because cypress seems to be extinct around here. I have been feeding ground turkey with calcium powder every other day and FT fuzzy mice once or twice a week. This week he seems to have very little interest in the turkey and a little interest in the mice. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?
His temps are 80 ambient with a 110 hot spot. Housed in a 40 gallon breeder. And if it matters he seems to be borrowed under the watter blowl most of the time. (cold side)
Sorry if I seem like a noob but well, I am with these guys.
