    Looking for any texan tegu owners

    Rose City Reptiles breeds some of the best tegus around. Joey is amazing. I'm planning on getting most of mine from him. I'm not sure whereabouts he is located in TX, but visit his website if you are interested: rosecityreptilestx

    Meet Dino. Trying to Nurse to Health.

    I forgot to mention grow tents! They are super cheap, excellent at retaining humidity (as they're made to keep plants alive and thriving) and reflecting UV light, easy as pie to hang lights from, perfect for bioactive and holding substrate (both Pubba [tegu] and Ouroboros [retic] have fully...

    Meet Dino. Trying to Nurse to Health.

    I recently purchased a Crane drop humidifier for my boy, and it is great at pumping out fog! I have that and a reptifogger at the other end of his enclosure (8×4×6), which I plan to replace with another crane drop. I just jammed a silicone tube inside of the hole (10 mm) and voila! The best part...

    Not acting herself

    It is possible she is going into a semi-brumation. My only concern at this point would be parasites. She looks very healthy, I would just keep an eye on her, continue offering food and fresh water, and if she doesn't lose any weight and resumes eating within the next couple weeks you'll be in...

    Ideal hide size for an outdoor enclosure?

    My boy's hide is 22x12×10 inches, and he fits comfortably but snugly (he's about 4.5 ft long now)

    24/7 Free Roaming Tegu, but still has Accesses to an Enclosure.

    Lmao, I couldn't agree more on the stench, p-u! Just finished cleaning up a large deposit from my boy. It took some effort, but I was able to train him to stay off the carpet and solely use his water bowl, substrate, or the tile in the bathroom as a last resort. He has done so well :)

    24/7 Free Roaming Tegu, but still has Accesses to an Enclosure.

    Hey there! I got an excellent grow tent (8×4×6 ft) off Amazon, and it works fantastically! It cost no more than $130. I grew some things indoors years ago when I had my blue tongue, and I noticed how much he enjoyed exploring the tents. Once I decided to get Pubba I did some research and...

    I’ll Draw your Tegu

    I may be a bit late to the party, but I saw your post a few days ago, and it piqued my interest. I, too, am an artist, but I have yet to acquire digital media. I drew my YT logo with sharpie lol, which includes ones of my beardies and one of my jumping spiders. Here's some photos of my boy Pubba...

    Is my Tegu too small?....

    It is on the smaller side, but this isn't necessarily alarming. I've seen some slow growers. Since they brumate, the growth rates vary vastly. Also, if it is female, she will likely grow more slowly and won't reach an abnormally large size. Looks like a healthy baby! It is also possible that...

    Blue Tegus butt hangs out when pooping.

    This definitely looks like a prolapse. For temporary relief soak the baby in warm water that contains as much white granulated sugar dissolved within it as possible. This will reduce swelling and allow the cloaca to retract. I would have the vet test for parasites, as this can be a symptom. I...

    Please help!

    Indeed, they are very much like dogs or children. They just need to learn you are the hand that feeds and they can trust you. Great advice here. Patience is a necessary with reptiles.

    Please help!

    It sounds very much like guberty to me. My boy only ever "bit" me once, and in doing so he basically just gently grabbed my chin with his mouth lol. He sleeps on my belly just about every night. His tooth barely broke the skin. I understood this to mean, "you're my human, don't leave me again"...

    Male + Male together?

    I know cohabitation amongst females or one male to one or more females is generally fine, but two males is not recommendable. While it may work for some individuals, you are greatly increasing the odds for disaster (tail nipping, fights, critical injury). You would also need a VERY large amount...

    HELP!! Tegu sneezing and substrate

    Oh and about the hay- my boy Pubba absolutely loves it. I piled it around his hide so he can tunnel in it for brumation, and I also spread it around the enclosure. It helps tremendously with the humidity, I only have to spray once a week to every two weeks.

    HELP!! Tegu sneezing and substrate

    My boy sneezes sometimes after burrowing. I added some organic soil, small amount of aspen shavings, and hay to his substrate. It alleviated any humidity and dust issues. I also have two foggers constantly pumping into his enclosure (8x4x6, it needs it lol). I would just keep an eye on things...
