    Chacoan Giant Extreme White

    I am looking for a new home for my tegu. He is Varnyard stock. Will be 2 years old in July. Very tame. Here is a vid from last year being handfed VIDEO. He is still coming out of hibernation. He gets up for about 1 hour a day then goes back to sleep. Local pickup will get my reptile...

    Bobby Hill anyone hear from him?????

    RE: Bobby hill, anyone hear from him? woah, craziness. When I got my '11 it was kinda the same way. Really hard to get through to him. Though he did eventually deliver my lizard.

    How to soak a tegu?

    he will probably shed fine on his own. A bath might not be best until he is comfortable with you handling him.

    My tegu went gone wild

    I took Malcom outside for the first time today. It was a nice day and since he is pretty big (40"+) I figured he would be easy to handle. Everything was going well until I went to bring him inside. He saw me moving towards him and took off running. I tried to scoop him and he thrashed...

    substrate

    im setting up malcom's new enclosure today. I went with top soil and redwood mulch (gorilla hair). I would have liked coconut fiber, but unless i can find large bags its not practical.

    Tegu endothermy?

    As far as I understand it all cold blooded animals produce heat. Being cold blooded means they rely on external means to regulate their temperature. It sounds like your tegu is unhappy. I hope you get everything sorted soon.

    Malcom eating from my hand

    Thanks Josh. I don't do anything too special. Just spend time with him and try not to bug him too much.
