    Weird scale patches, please help!

    Really? I considered it too but his lamp is decently far from him and it's never caused him issue before. Perhaps I'll take away his basking platform so there's more space... Thanks!

    Weird scale patches, please help!

    Hi everyone... So I have an otherwise healthy and extremely active tegu. He eats like a pig and seems healthy, but a few weeks back he developed these weird patches on his back. They don't seem to be spreading, but they won't go away either... He's been to two different reptile vets, and been...

    My snugglebear Fafnir

    I got Fafnir back in January from Tegusonly/ Rodney, and he's been honestly the biggest sweetie from the second he arrived. Snuggled with me straight out of the shipping box, and has stayed affectionate since. Super recommend Rodney for beautiful animals like him!!

    Is this acceptable substrate?

    Hello! My two gus are currently on a cypress mulch/Coco husk mix, but I wanted to add some soil/peat moss and play sand to give them better burrowing opportunities. However I can't find anything listed as "top soil" without it having additives like fertilizer or compost. I found these bags or...

    TegusOnly full review!

    For sure! It was -0.4F outside though which is why I stressed so much. That's awesome you have so many from them. I love the idea that it helps the environment and gives us access to stunning Tegus at a fraction of the normal cost. I'll get more pictures in the morning, but this is him after a...

    TegusOnly full review!

    Just got my sub adult tegu from Rodney! Side note if you don't know, TegusOnly takes invasive Tegus out of Florida's ecosystem, where they're vetted and sold as pets rather than being destroyed. Communication with Rodney: 10/10 Super quick responses. We bought the sub adult a few hours after...

    URGENT; adopted mistreated

    Thanks! Poly drops improved one eye entirely. Skin is coming off in chunks already. He has lesions in between some scales that look raw so I've put Poly in them as well. Hopefully I can get him back up to speed soon. Only issue is his total lack of appetite. He ate the tiniest bit of salmon...

    URGENT; adopted mistreated

    All clear on cage set up. He got a little grumpy with me trying to rub coconut oil on his skin... Should I leave him alone for a few days or is treatment the priority? He was fine with me until I rubbed him with the towel and now he's hesitant and huffing around my hand... Also no exotic vets...

    URGENT; adopted mistreated

    Hi guys, A friend of mine who works in rescue saved a beautiful red Tegu and with me being the only person she knows who cares of them, she asked me to take him and I happily obliged. However, he's in rough shape. He's a sweet pup, but he has months of shed built up on his back. He was kept in...

    New baby Tegu (potential hibernation and bonding problems?)

    That's reassuring. A colleague of mine had a baby that was tame from the get go so I worried I had done something to spook it. Do you have an opinion on bathtub bonding? I was going to leave him alone for another week to determine if he's going into hibernation or not and then go from there...

    New baby Tegu (potential hibernation and bonding problems?)

    Hi guys. Worried new Tegu mama. I've worked with adult Tegus for a long time, but this baby business is a whole new experience. Long story short, I've had my little B&W for around a month. He's alright with me touching him, but will scamper under his hides and not come out when I'm around. The...
