Well, in my opinion Meg was a wee bit aggressive off the bat to this guy, but his response was not appropriate in any way. However we are not on some absurd MTV "Diss Off" this guy is legitimately asking for help, and the least we can do is try to help him and his tegu.
Ehhh I was probably out of hand when he started mentioning I killed my tegu. Which i DIDN'T. But he had probably blocked me and didn't receive those messages

Yeah, I agree you probably did not, seeing as MBD is a slow killer. My tegu had it when it came from LLL, but I corrected it within two weeks. Proper grammar*, wouldn't hurt but is not necessary. I also will say that it would be nice if you two could just reasonably discuss better ways to care for his tegu!

Repcoop stop yelling at Tanman and read what I wrote about the UVB and why it needs to be different please. I would really appreciate this calming down to a nice slow discussion about care.

Tanman, his tegu looks alright to me honestly, as in health wise but I haven't seen his other animals. So stop talking about that, we are now discussing the care he should provide.

Well because YOUR KILLING THEM. Maybe if you were more mature you would notice this.


Whooooah!
I just read through this thread...

TanMan... This kid isn't on this site to argue with you. He's asking for input on what he can do to better take care of his tegu.
Attacking him isn't going to do any good.

Why not try something constructive, like offering polite advice on what he can change? I'm sure he'd be more willing to listen to you.

Thank you Dz, these guys don't understand that this is a tegu information site not Friday Night Fights. Also, it is not all on Tanman, this is totally equal blame. Rep coop read my posts about care because the UVB may help some but it needs to cover most of the area she is in to be effective. Also read my dietary tips for how to get her to eat fruit.

You need multivitamins for her too since she's not in the wild we cannot provide every detail in her food. So we provide multivitamins that she needs

You do need multivitamins too, he is right there. Also, you could turn the bathtub itself into a temporary cage by installing UVB and heaters in it and putting down a foot or so of substrate and some other hides and such. Just another idea for caging.

Hey, I'd be more than happy to give you any constructive advice I can. I think most of the other experienced tegu lovers on this site would be more than willing to do the same.

I don't think that an all-out attack is the right way to go, even if one did feel that your husbandry with the tegu was sub-par.

I have not made up any crap. If you even begin to accuse me I believe almost anyone with tegu experience can back me up on this care I gave you. If you were not referring to me then that is fine but I have given you strictly facts.
