Hi guys, I haven't posted in about a year, since brumation lasted a little longer than expected. So the Gu's have been getting plenty of sunlight in the yard, plenty of calcium (w/o D3), and eating perfectly. However an issue one of my tegus had back in October is still present, I figured it would go away with age, but has remained and I've narrowed it down to 2 potential reasons.
A year ago (back when I only had the one Gu), my BnW was very small, and I, not being the wisest thinker, decided to place him on my shoulder while I pulled his food out. That was a terrible decision, as he jumped from my shoulder onto the floor. I'm only about 5'7-5'8 but still, I'm like a building tall in his eyes.
I hadn't noticed anything because nothing was visible externally, he ran around fine, ate like a champ. Even now, a year later, he acts like it's a non-issue, and most people I've spoken to online haven't even noticed it. But I notice it, especially when compared to my Red girl. He can stretch his legs, and walk fine, but there's definitely something off.
My #2 theory is that I may be overfeeding calcium, since I haven't found an appropriate calcium dosage for them yet.
At the moment they're both relaxing. They may look a tad thin since they've been sleeping a ton for the past couple months.
