I hate to do this, but I have a b&w from Rodney at TegusOnly that I am selling. He (I think) is about 2 and a half feet long in beautiful shape and a voracious eater. I've been keeping him in a 4x8 enclosure (which I'm keeping) but I haven't handled him at all except the 3 times he escaped so he...
Hello everybody. I'm sure this is normal, but since I'm new to tegus I wanted to get your opinion. I just got Pepper (because he's kind of feisty) about 2 weeks ago from TegusOnly and was told he's still in brumation so not to expect too much activity. Well he went into his cave and never comes...
Actually the higher percentage of sand would also be good because I got my tegu from TegusOnly in Florida, and the soil down there is very sandy. And the soil from Home Depot is a children's play sand so it's washed and has no chemicals of any kind added to it.

Please help, I think I'm going to go crazy if I don't figure this out. Whether I use eco earth, or cypress mulch, or a mix of sand and soil and peat moss as the substrate, I must be looking at this wrong because 9 inches deep in a 4by8 enclosure seems to be about 24 cubic feet and eco earth (for...
