Just an update...The vet saved him...They gave him a few different shots and then some meds that I syringe fed him along with powder mix up for food that manually fed him. His eyes are now open, he's no longer dependent on me so he's back to his healthy skittish ways lol.
Since then I pay a...
Groucho is getting worse...I got (fish tetracycline powder) from the pet shop today and sprinkled what I thought to be 50mg on a fuzzy. I offered and Groucho didn't want it...He ate some ground sirloin yesterday with calcium. I also added a heating pad to the bottom of his cage to give him a...
UPDATE...I've kept the room warmer than usual and have not put any lights on in his cage. He is sleeping most of the day. I take him out to apply the natural tears gel. He seems ok, he's not eating as much but still eating and drinking. His right eye lid seemed to shed off something black...
Thanks so much! Yes, that is a Repti-Glo coiled bulb. Ok so just so I understand...I should go to the hardware store and get a GE 100W bulb and leave it on 12 hours a day starting ASAP for a weeks time in place of my 2 current bulbs. After one week...Ditch the GE and replace with the Mercury...
If I tough his eye lids they feel really hard. Like an awning on the top of his eyes...It's very strange. It feels dry so no signs of infections and he is not shedding. I'm stumped.
Ok I have not put on Groucho's light today. There is no discharge and yes the eye lids are the swollen part...I know pics are not 3 dimensional so those details may be hard to see exactly. I'm using an EXO-TERRA Repti-glow 10.0 UVB and it sits 11 inches above his basking spot. Also have an...
Ok so I've noticed that my red gu has lately had sunken eyes and doesn't like to keep his eyes open very long...He sleeps a lot. I got him as a baby 4 months ago. Is he just growing a lot and enjoys sleeping more now that he is bigger. Do their eyes tend to get sunken in looking as they grow...
Funny, I'm from Pike County originally..Went to wallenpaupack...You still have those little guys for sale? Possibly interested in picking one up...Let me know :)
Yup, my gu does the same thing...He's only been with me for a month and I'm still trying to tame him...He does it daily when my hands around his "bubble". Hopefully he will learn to trust me and drop that instinct.
Boamaster looks pretty good. Which cage would you recomend? Do you guys use humidifiers or spray distilled water daily in the cage? Sorry for the newbie questions...But...Hey, Im a newbie and want to create the most desirable environment for my 'gu :)
Thanks...That was my thought...Tough to maintain an ideal environment but I'm an amateur so wanted to hear from ALL of you! That also explains why I searched the forum for a while and came up empty in regards to wire cages ;)
I searched the forum and didn't find much info on wire cages. I found a place that sells wire cages and for the size and price it seems to be the most economical next to building your own.
I'd like to know if anyone uses a wire cage for their tegu and if so how is your lighting set up? pics...
Hey guys and gals!
I'm excited I found this forum!
I did alot of research and decided on a Tegu...I have a Colombian Boa and a boxer but where I'm moving doesn't allow either pets. Tegu's seem like the sharpest of the reptile family and great companions.
Look forward to read and learn of ALL...
