Hello all! So a friend had to rehome her tegu so we took him. Gary is 3 years old and my original tegu Freckles, turned 1 in July. The first time I introduced them my original tegu peed himself three times and then wouldn't leave my side. The second meeting was in the bathroom. They got close to...
Cracked one piece of glass... Luckily I had some plexi on hand.. Now need some grout and have to finish the front. The pegboard is to temporarily seperate my tegus. Our original tegu is much smaller than the one we were given so I need him to catch up a little before I left them be together. The...
So I decided not to keep the enclosure that was given to me with my second Tegu. After my first build I knew I really wanted to start over anyway. My first was a repurposed armoire. This build is a 96X36X30. I wanted to add glass to the slides since it's much cheaper than plexi so I bought a...
Oh I won't. I love the little guy. I post him on Instagram all the time lol. I love watching him grow. He is even eating mice now. My daughter is just disappointed so I just wanted to ask. Thanks!
Well originally I did all the things you read about... Sitting in the bathroom... Sitting in the tub for 2 hours twice a day. Now he is out twice a day to eat and he stays out for a while. Like I said he isn't scared of me... He just doesn't like to be held or touched very much. If I put him...
I see a lot of Tegus who cuddle and love to be rubbed. Am I the only one with a tegu who rarely likes being rubbed... Cuddles for a minute then runs.. fights desperately every single time I try to take him out of his enclosure... Etc. We got him when he was about a month old. He isn't afraid of...
Soooo...I measured Freckles on March 4th and he was 22 inches. I started using the Solar-Glo bulb and used the Repta-Boost (every few days). I measured him last night and he is now 25.5 inches. Not sure if it was the bulb or the Repta-Boost or a combination of both. He still does not like the...
We will see how he does with the extra temp because the uvb bulb also has heat so that will raise the temp as well. Like I said he didn't like the higher temp before but we shall see. I moved the original uvb to the left of the enclosure where the regular light was on the cooler side. So now he...
His basking spot is at 90. He is on his ledge in the morning when I leave but always in his house when I come home so not sure how long he sits there. I had it hotter but then he just sat on the cooler side on the corner. So yeah I'm increasing the uvb and trying the Repta Boost
Okay so I'm not the only one going through this... Makes me feel a bit better. He loves eggs too but lately he has been turning that down and only eating a few hearts. I read about Repta Boost and ordered some of that and bought him a solar glo bulb. I feel like he is much smaller than other...
