    Living in an apartment w/tegu or large monitors?

    I didn't know where else to post this under except general, but I'd like to hear past experiences from living in an apartment with a large monitor or tegu? I plan on moving out in the next 6 months and the apartments I'm looking at is pet friendly, but do you think they'll make you put down a...

    Baby playpen converted for a tegu?

    I have an older baby playpen that my mom doesn't have any use for and I was wondering if anyone else has gotten this idea or have tried it as a permanent/semi-permanent enclosure either for juveniles or sub adults for a short time being or even for quarantine. I don't see why it wouldn't work...

    Craigslist rant.

    http://galveston.craigslist.org/pet/4175365583.html This guy wants $100 for what I'm assuming is a hatchling/juvenile sav with a 72 gallon tall aquarium. Not only does this guy just sound dumb as hell to start with, in the pictures the "bedding" is AQUARIUM ROCKS. The only source of heat is...

    Sexing a year and a half year old tegu.

    Alright so for the first time I'm about 99.9% that he is indeed a boy because I couldn't really see anything but I felt two little pimple like things on each side next to the vent, so I'm pretty positive at this point.

    Sexing a year and a half year old tegu.

    So I'm still not 100% sure if Connor is in fact a boy. I'll have had him for a year in February and I still cant tell for sure if he's male or female. I havent gotten to witness any sperm plugs and I cant quite hold him still long enough to be able to check for buttons, but I think hes starting...

    Outside year round.

    I live in the NE side of Houtson, Texas and my b&w is being housed outside perminantly. What is the greatest tactic with success anyone has had with keeping temps up during the winter? At night the temps can flux from 70-30 degrees from now till the end of March/ mid April so it can get pretty cold.

    Sexing a sub-adult 1 1/2 year old?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't sperm plugs the small amount of white build up that comes out with their feces and urine? If so, then I'm about 99% positive he is a male because I see that stuff almost everytime he goes to the bathroom.

    Sexing a sub-adult 1 1/2 year old?

    So I've had my b&w since the beginning of February and he was sold to me as a male from a woman off of craigslist. Up until this point I have been pretty sure he's a male, but the past few weeks I've started to rethink if Connor really is a male, or female. He seems to be developing jowls for a...

    Good "beginner" monitor or tegu.

    He's more interested in something that isn't going to be massive like a water or any of the albigs, around 4-5ft max and something he can handle often and that tolerate interaction, like an argentine. He may be interested in the reds or extreme giant/chocoan because of the size and tempernment...

    U.S. Fish & Wild Life Categorical exclusion, (very long post)

    And I bet none of those crooked politicians have ever taken the time to do some real research and learn how easy it is to properly take care of some species of reptiles and amphibians and see how rewarding it is to care for something as small as a leopard gecko, to a large monitor. I do have to...

    Good "beginner" monitor or tegu.

    My boyfriend has decided he wants a monitor or a tegu, but he doesn't plan on getting it until 4 years from now when he comes home from the marines otherwise I would be the Primary caretaker for it, not him. And he doesn't want to come home to a full grown sav or b&w that's hardly accostomed to...

    I need help. I have a serious problem on Tmy hands.

    I think he's starting to get more used to all of the new smells, sights, and sounds, and he's starting to realize I'm not a threat. Or at least a big one because before, I would walk by the cage and he'd dart after me trying to get through the wire and bite me. Now, since its been about a week...
