    Hi from UK

    Hi Rob. Whereabouts in the UK are you? I'm in Essex.

    Sperm Plug?

    Does this look like as sperm plug? My B&W just pooped this out.

    Housing in pairs

    I was considering buying another tegu to house with my existing one. I have a male around 1 year old and was considering getting a female. He is housed in a room approx. 8ft x 8ft, 4ft x 1ft tiled basking spot, 4ft bath, three hides and an open floor space of around 5ft x 4ft. I understand a...

    What a pest!

    Thanks for the suggestion of Eco smart. It has managed to keep the numbers down but I've also resulted to use provent a mite as well. Had great success with this in the past. I've identified them as fungus gnats I think and as a result started to dry the substrate out a bit but not too much in...

    Extreme, Blue, B&W, what's the difference?

    Thanks for each explination. I used to keep a collection arachnids (that has depleted) and whilst there are always a wide range of common names you could always go back to the scientific name to be precise. With tegus, in a nut shell, I gather there are few specie variations but a number of...

    Extreme, Blue, B&W, what's the difference?

    I've looked into this subject a fair amount but the only answer I can seem to get is there is little to no difference between a b&w and an extreme. I read an article somewhere about a man (called Rob I think) who basically labelled his stock this in order to put on a higher price tag and conned...

    What a pest!

    Some ECO SMART is on it way. Thanks for the tip. Never heard of anything like this before. It's handy as I keep a few arachnids in the room as well. They must have made their way in when I opened the window as I do regularly to air it out as he is kept in his own room. But these unwanted guests...

    What a pest!

    Does anyone know what these are (pics attached)? If so what's the best way to get rid? My tegu is brumating at the minute so is difficult to remove him. They have exploded very quickly! Thanks.

    A change in behaviour......

    I've had my male B&W for nearly 3 1/2 months now and when I bought him he was 16" and now is 36". I knew they grew fast but wow! He has his own room with about 55 sq ft of floor space and a hide at the warm end and the cool end. Over the last month he has gradually been skipping meals. It went...

    Black poop

    Thanks for the help from you both.

    Black poop

    Yeah there's always the 'white plug' before and sometimes just the white when he pees I think. I'm paranoid about impaction so I bath him before I feed him every night to make sure he has a 'clear out'. I've only owned bearded dragons before and it was similar with them. In the last few weeks...

    Black poop

    Hi, Over the last week my B&W, Hector, has been eating fine and behaving normal but his poo has been coming out black and very firm. He isn't struggling to poo and its black no matter what I feed him. He's coming up 3 foot now and I mainly feed him mice, mince beef, mince turkey, hard boiled...

    I never knew this!

    Just came across this and found it quite interesting. I thought others might too. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3415478/Now-hot-flush-Cold-blooded-lizard-increase-body-temperature-looking-love.html
