    Preventing Hibernation

    I suppose its hard to complain, considering one of the main things I like about Tegus are thier distinct personalities. I'm a very 'live and let live' kind of guy, so if shes gonna hibernate, so bit it. She wants to hang out all year, all the better.

    Preventing Hibernation

    Thanks Toby, thats about what I expected :) Hopefully she wont hibernate, but if she does she does, at least I'll save a bit on my electric bill lol.

    New York Reptile Expo

    I will be going. I hope to have a Varnyard stock Gu by then, but I want to go either way. I just really enjoy walking around and eyeballing all the cool reptiles I'll never have, lol.

    Preventing Hibernation

    I have read a lot about Tegu hibernation. I do not plan on breeding, and I would like my future female to be active year round. Is there a way to deter the hibernation process if she decides to do it on her own? Or is it just hit or miss?

    Tegu Odors?

    *Whew!* Thanks, thats great news. I'm hoping, if she can't see it, can't smell it, and can't hear it, she'll forget about it soon enough :)

    Thanks for all the warm welcomes everyone, you're all so friendly here! And thats great news that I may be able to get one in august. The local pet store by me, which is in my opinion a VERY good pet store, is Parrots of the World in Rockville Centre, NY. Apparently they get theirs from...

    Tegu Odors?

    Up until now, I have seen no mention of offensive odors coming from Tegus or their feces. Now, obviously feces will smell, I don't expect it to smell like Cinnabun or anything, and I plan on cleaning out any nastiness daily. My question is, do Tegus (or their feces) give off a STRONG odor that...

    Just an Introduction

    I would love to, but I think I may be a little late for them this year. Most seem to have deposits on them already, and I wont be able to afford one until August :-/. If he has any available by then, he is my first choice.

    Has anyone ever tried to plant grass in the enclosure?

    That amphibian tank sounds quite interesting, I would love to see some pictures and hear some more about it. If you are so inclined, it would be much appreciated! I really like frogs, and always had a huge interest in enclosed ecosystems. In fact, I'd really love to design a self-sustaining (or...

    Does Either Gender Make a Better Pet?

    I've been planning on getting a Black and White for a while now, and I have researched as much as humanly possible on the internet. What I have yet to determine is if there is a benefit for getting one sex or the other. I have no intention of breeding my future Tegu, he/she is just going to be a...

    Just an Introduction

    Hi everyone, just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. I'm 26 from Long Island NY, and looking to purchase my first Argentine Black and White soon. I spend the vast majority of my work day google'ing everything I can find about Argentines (and monitors, and geckos, and beardies...)...
