    Argentine male question

    Here are a couple photos of my Argentine BW male tegu. What would you guess his age to be, and when do they start filling out like the monsters you see in videos on youtube? Mine doesnt eat much right now and sleeps a lot, I know its due to hibernation. I got him a couple months ago and he has...

    Electrical Advice

    When it comes to installing the heat lamp fixtures in large wooden cages whats the easiest and safest option? I bought clamp lamps and some porcelain sockets but I am not good with electrical stuff and I dont trust wiring something I cant closely monitor. Id prefer mounting the safest option...

    Building my Tegus enclosure

    No problem! And that cage would make a great start. Rhinos are awesome, a Tegu should be a walk in the park compared:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Building my Tegus enclosure

    You will have more issues with 'taming' the tegu in a larger enclosure from my understanding. The smaller enclosures help make them feel more secure and used to their environment. Id buy a 40 gallon breeder aquarium initially. I ran into this issue as well, so I ordered a larger Tegu from...

    New here

    Rodney seems like a good guy. Im happy with mine for sure. A couple things- although I am over all happy- two day shipping isnt ideal and I didnt realize that was how he shipped until I had tracking. The tegu was a little on the skinny side- but given the circumstances behind the tegus he has...

    Animal Plastics T70

    I'm interested in purchasing an animal plastics t70 cage for my Tegu. This particular cage is 8 feet long, 3 deep and 2 feet high. I asked for a 6" lip from the bottom to hold more substrate for burrowing. I am having two florescent tube fixtures installed as well as ceramic fixtures for...
