    Sex!

    I haven't taken a good look/feel around the cloaca, but I have definitely seen those sperm plugs (I looked at another thread you posted on, where there was a photo for reference). I always kinda wondered what that stuff was. Thanks for the info!

    Sex!

    We've got an Argentine B&W tegu, about 4 years old. We believe him to be male, but some recent discrepancies with our snakes has left me with a small inkling of doubt in my mind... How do you determine sex, for sure?

    SOLD--California Kingsnake, female, black and white

    SOLD-- post will be deleted when I figure out how. Beautiful kingsnake! She's about 6 years old and around 44" long. She's a little nippy sometimes (especially when it is feeding time!) and in great overall health. She eats medium-large adult mice and has always been fed pre-killed. I'm...

    Dealing with Bad Sheds

    Thanks for the post. I have a scrub python going through a really bad shed. I tried soaking him (step for step almost exactly the same as you described) but I had him in the soaking tub for a MUCH shorter time because I wasn't sure what was appropriate. I'll definitely try again with a longer...

    LLL Reptile

    We've also had great experiences with LLL. Back in 2009, we bought our very own baby Argentine B&W from their storefront in Escondido. On a separate occasion we bought a scrub python there, too. Both animals are as healthy as can be!

    Shed tegu skins? All species welcome!

    I have an argentine B&W and I think I could spare some shed... haha If you're still interested, of course!

    moving... what to do?

    ha! Okay, yeah, I figured they wouldn't be interested in eating anything, but that it wouldn't hurt to ask.

    moving... what to do?

    We are planning a long-distance move next year, around March or April. Basically we are moving from southern California to northern Washington. We're planning to rent a truck and drive our belongings, tow the car, etc; it should take about 3 days to safely get there (possibly 2, but that...

    Something on his tongue...??

    Thanks-- I was trying to get some good shots of him eating and derping around... I think these were the best of his tongue (at least for illustrative purposes) out of 144 frames. haha! [hr] [attachment=4887] This one is slightly clearer... it's so weird :/ Also, I was handling him a bit...

    Something on his tongue...??

    Wow. I never knew reptiles could (or commonly did) bite their own tongues. Seems entirely possible, then. We never feed him live prey, but he certainly chomps things down, and when he eats (prekilled) rodents, of course, he thrashes them around pretty good before the chomping proceeds, so I...

    Something on his tongue...??

    My mind may be playing tricks on me, but it seems like it is slightly flatter than the first time I saw it. Definitely not any bigger.

    Something on his tongue...??

    I don't know... I've never known any reptile to bite their own tongue, outside of some kind of crazy accident. I wish I could get a better look at it, but you know, that tongue moves so fast! And I'm not about to hold him down and pry his mouth open... o_o

    Something on his tongue...??

    Our B&W is male, and about 3 years old. He has a pretty good temperament and certainly likes to eat. We noticed an odd lump on his tongue (see photos)-- I think I first saw it about a week ago. I've been scouring the internet to try and figure it out, but I can't seem to pinpoint it. Of...
