    Colombian Tegu

    It can take a couple weeks to get into a 'normal' feeding schedule. What are you feeding him? I would stop giving him egg. Mine did the same thing and ignored everything but the egg. It was a habit i didnt want to encourage so i stopped giving egg. Mine was very skittish and took a few weeks for...

    Need Trust Tips, Sexing, Species, and Inspection

    My opinion/guess just from the pics is female simply because of the lack of(or small) jowls. 100% argentine though. As far as the nose scrape it just looks like nose rub from rubbing her face on her cage, happens alot when theyre kept in small cages . It doesnt look too bad and i wouldnt worry...

    should i buy a tegu?

    Also make sure you have space for an 8'x4' cage.. they grow fast and youll need it sooner than you think.

    Nile or black throat?

    Hmm I think maybe you like polls..Well lets see..can u properly house, heat and feed either one? They both get huge, they both need HUGE custom made enclosures/rooms, they both eat massive amounts of food($$$) and both can cause serious injuries esp if you dont have much large lizard...

    How big are Chacoan Tegus?

    Just wanted to add that even though you should give your tegu free roam time it needs to have a proper(and properly sized) enclosure..8'x4' is the minimum i believe but bigger is always better.

    Enclosure paint

    Im wondering how well paint will stick to melamine. Ill bet somewhere could order you black instead so you dont need to paint anything.. Ive actually seen other ppl use something that is melamine on one side and the other side is paintable wood althought im not sure where you get that..

    Barn Owl?

    I actually looked into getting a falconry license a while back. Its alot harder than i thought it would be and ALOT of work. If someday you do go through with it good luck! It would be very cool..i just dont have the dedication..

    New argentine arrived with mouth issues, help!

    I think it looks like bad nose rub too. It looks like its healed/healing but i dont think itll heal to the point of looking normal but it shouldnt negatively affect eating or anything..
