    Odd Behavior

    No there's nothing in there. And I don't think she's looking for food because I offered her rats, a chick and some ground turkey while she was doing this and she wasn't interested. The only thing I have up there is one of those big lava rock bags that are supposed to reduce odor. Maybe that's it?

    Odd Behavior

    So my Argentine B&W (whom I've had since January) has been acting weird lately. She walks around sniffing the air and looking at the ceiling of her enclosure almost like she's looking for something. And then when she gets to her lamp (I have a MV bulb hanging over her basking spot) she jumps at...

    Appetite

    I was actually concerned Temps might be too high. I have 124 directly under the MVB, 81 on the far side of the "cool" end, and the ambient air temp in the middle is 90. Its an 8x4 enclosure, 160w MVB on the hot side and a 100w infrared on the cool.

    Appetite

    Hello - I have an Argentine B&W that I got back in January. Everything is going great and she seems pretty healthy, however she doesn't seem to have the appetite I was expecting. It's actually died down over the last 6 weeks or so. I would expect with the the warmer weather it should pick up...

    Little Bugs

    Definitely not from good. Also, I have never seen my gu soak in his water, ever. I did some googling and I think that they are indeed from the mulch and called wood mites which are completely harmless. I'll keep an eye on it. It haven't seen any since I changed his water but I'm sure they are there.

    Little Bugs

    Little Bugs

    So u poked my head in my Tegus enclosure this morning to mist and change his water and I noticed that there are little white bugs sitting around and jumping on the top of the water. What the hell could they be? Mites? I thought mights were black? I have never had this issue with any of my...

    New Tegu Owner Diet Questions

    I'm thinking of ordering some ground rabbit. Should I order the whole carcass (with fur) or would the meat, bones and organs suffice?

    New Tegu Owner Diet Questions

    I went on that site a while back but I was afraid to order a bunch of stuff and not end up using it. What would you suggest from that site? Do you get ground or whole? It's also hard for me to judge what sizes I will need now and what sizes I will need 3 months from now. I'm open to suggestions.

    New Tegu Owner Diet Questions

    Thanks for the replies. Snakechamr - any suggestions on whole prey items that are small enough to feed a juvi? Like what kind of whole fish? He eats fresh tilapia but I would like to find whole fish to give him. I ordered a couple bags of the smallest chick's I could find but they seem far too big.

    Greetings, I got my Argentine Black & White about a month ago and everything is going great. He tame and eats well. I have no idea how old he is but he is about 30" long and 1000g. He has nearly doubled his weight since I got him. My question is regarding diet. Right now mine eats F/T rats, a...
