    Naturalistic set ups/bio active enclosures

    Only use pure 100% natural lump wood charcoal, not the briquettes. The brand I use is called royal oak, you can get huge cheap bags of the stuff at Home Depot. If you want to be extra careful you could just use horticulture charcoal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Smaller Tegu afraid of larger Tegu

    And you posted your experience of something that is potentially very dangerous and lethal to the animals. A 22 inch tegu will lose to an adult every single time. Even if he is half the length of an adult, that's nowhere near half the body size. Any adult tegu could easily kill a 22 inch tegu...

    Smaller Tegu afraid of larger Tegu

    I personally would not keep them together until they are all the same size. IMO it's just too large of a risk. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Smaller Tegu afraid of larger Tegu

    I'd just wait until they're around the same size, maybe you could introduce items from the larger ones enclosure to the smaller one so he can get associated with the smell. Other than that, it seems to put unnecessary stress on the smaller tegu. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Chicken feet

    He might not be able to really get the meat off it's quite compact. I like to give my tegu chicken and turkey eggs, he spends a lot of time cracking them then eating the egg out. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Chicken feet

    He can eat most of the drumsticks whole, though some are a little too big. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Chicken feet

    My adult male will eat whole chicken feet, but then again he eats anything I offer him even if that would be a clump of dirt. Hell also take drumsticks and chicken/turkey necks, though I do have to cut up the turkey necks.

    Finally moved him outside!

    Good news, he's been doing great! Only thing is, forecast shows over a week of rain and thunderstorms..., I'm assuming then the I should bring him inside? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Diarrhea

    Mice will end in an impaction only if your caring for the tegu improperly. This isn't rare to see with people keeping monitors. Just make sure your humidity and basking temps are on point and he will be perfectly fine. 110 basking temp at least, preferably a little bit higher. Try feeding mostly...

    Finally moved him outside!

    Still didn't really move out today, so I'm gonna take Walters advice, and stuff either hay or straw in there to make him feel less exposed Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Finally moved him outside!

    Yep lol. He seems very sulky sitting in there, but it doesn't surprise me. This cage is over twice as big as his last enclosure, and He can see way more as well. I imagine this will take a good deal of adjustment for him, but in the end, it will be much better than what he had. It also is better...

    is there a better way to get bedding

    In my area they stuff everything but the peat with pine. If it's not labeled 100% pure, it's got pine. That's why I can't use top soil. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    is there a better way to get bedding

    Look through some suppliers websites until you find a 100% pure mulch. Then call them and tell them the order number to see if they have it. Thats what I've been trying, but to no avail. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to drive all the way from Alabama to Florida if I want my damn mulch. Sent from...
