Thanks for your opinion although I don't agree with it and most of the species that I do own do cross paths in the wild and are from very broad habitat ranges that are equivalent spread across the world in correspondence with the equater which creates the same type of conditions and...
From My experience I would say these animals are a shy and reclusive reptile that are happy just in their own company ... also upto about 2 I would say they are still juvenile and extra flight motivated ..... just keep going and I'm sure it will come round and trust you
Hi .... Yes AA is my Colombian Tegu.
And My Enclosure is complete now and can be viewed @ Thelongeandfriends both on Face book and Instagram
Also in the UK I found it seriously hard to just source Amazonian creatures and had to revert back to just Tropical species from similar environments
humidity @ 50% for a bosc / savannah its a desert animal and higher temps more like 110 degrees
Could be just nervous taking in all the changes ...... quite usual for reptiles
Hi .... Viv looks great .... I think generally tegus are lazier than most people think.... The only think I can suggest for you is to play around with humidity and temps.... 80% humidity sounds a little high to have on daily constantly.... 110-135 also sounds high to me , mine is a Colombian...
from my understanding and research I've done myself ....
as babies like a tegu , the caiman lizard is pretty shy and change can be long winded..... so probs still settling in and also as babies are more arboreal so I wouldn't worry about the water as I'm sure that time will come.
Those snails...
some Tegus do struggle with stuck shed especially on feet and tail.... try extra soaks and a damp hide to sleep in.
if you can hold try some 100% coconut oil too before bed, but remember this is an oil and can burn under basking
After having AA for 5 years I decided I wanted to expand on my reptiles... but rather than going the traditional way of choosing animals, I've chosen my area (Colombia/ northern south America) and I'm building a bigger cohabitation enclosure.....
and right about now I bet you're thinking NO NO...
