    tank planning, questions and ideas

    oh, and with substrate, i want to go with a foot minimum all over, and possibly getting a 2 foot tall plastic storage tote with a hole in the top filled with dirt to allow it to burrow nicely.

    Tegus and Tripodding

    i dont have a tegu at the moment, but the one i had (who now lives with one of my friends) would half tripod, before lunging at the food. their back halves are all muscle/engine, and their front halves are all power and muscle. (my savannah tripods all the time, but yeah, hes a monitor lol.)

    chubby tegus?

    I see pictures of tegus, fat skinny idk... Can someone show me a picture of an adult tegu that is the correct weight. I look at the ones with the big fat jowls and think, that's adorable but I think that's obese... sorry if this isn't the right spot for this.

    Rain chamber?

    http://www.pollywogsworldoffrogs.com/Text-html/rainchamber.html This is a link to a site that describes it way better. The way I said is for my lizards, not my frogs. Though I could. Also my rain chamber is not a separate tank so much as like waterfall type thing to put in a tank.

    Rain chamber?

    Has anyone here used a rain chamber for their tegu? I don't have a tegu as of yet, but I have used a rain chamber for my savannah monitor, water dragon, mountain horned dragon, and green basilisk. If you don't know what it is: Super simple to make. Used to keep up humidity. Also can be...

    Baby wont eat except crickets!!

    What's your pet shop called beastly? And is there a website? I love going to or just checking out websites about the smaller per shops that actually care for their animals instead of the price of them.
