I would advise you not to get a tegu for your classroom! My guy is 4 yrs old and so loveable and sweet, but recently as I was going to pet him he lunged at my hand and wouldn't let go and I ended up minus my finger to the knuckle. I still haven't figured out why, as he is still my sweet guy...
I put fruit (banana, strawberry, mango, raspberry, orange, papaya, and apple) fresh or frozen in a food processor and add kale, collard, turnip, and mustard green, and a beet. Then I add amber agave to make it sweet. Then I pour into ice cube trays and freeze. To feed I thaw out a cube or...
First of all I am assuming you will getting a youngster. At that point I would worry about the cats eating the tegu. You would need to keep it in an enclosure with the right environment while it is young and then as it grows the enclosure might need to grow also. During this time, when you...
I have a tegu that has also had shedding problems and i tried all your method. I finally put him in a tub with really damp sphagnum moss for about a week and it worked.
That is so helpful! I have a blue who is about 4 yrs. and he has never burmated. It has always worried me. I also have red and this her second winter. She has started burmating. I am worried about her as she was going into a shed right before she started burmating. she's always had a hard...
My red had the same problem, Be careful of his feet as I didn't get the shed off quick enough and he lost some toes. I ended up tweezering off the shed on his body as he had a couple layers. He was a juvenile about 10 mo. at the time. I was doing everything you are doing with the same...
My tegu was 2 yrs before I realized he needed fruit and veg. Now he eats everything. I started by scrambling a raw egg on a plate. He loves eggs. Then I slowly added thawed fruit from a mix berry blend. He would eat this with the egg. Then I added ground collard greens . When he was...
My tegu does this when the side of the dish is too high. Feed him from a plate with a low lip and he will not have such a hard time getting to the food. Sometimes I think they see the plate as part of the food. but if there isn't so much of it they can see their food better.
I have a red also who came to me with shed so bad it was like picking dandruff off of her. She is about 14 in. She is shedding fine now and the solution was a substrate of spagnum moss which I keep slightly moist and vitamin B complex. I grind the pill into powder and then roll a roach in the...
I have a female red tegu who has shedding problems. Her shed flakes off in tiny pieces or not at all. I have tried soaking her every day for about 2 hrs., and rubbing fish oil on her, but in the end i have to pick off her shed with tweezers. She is constantly shedding and I spend hours picking...
