I need to sell my extreme giant. He turned two this past summer and is just under 3'. He's a great pet, my favorite but I need him to find him a new home. I hadn't planned to sell my house for a long time, but things have changed and I'll be moving into a small apartment and just wont be able to...
Yeah, the house search has turned into a pain in the butt. There is not much on the market right now in our price range that is in decent shape. On top of the need for a giant tegu cage, I also have a 330 gallon fish tank I plan to set up, so I really need a basement lol.
Good news tonight...
Tommyboy, thanks for the compliments! He is very white in that last pic. In person he is close to that color, but I dont think he is quite that white. The way he is going however he will be there soon enough. My fiance and I really wanted a bright, white tegu, so he is working out perfectly for...
Tommyboy, thank you for the reply. Thats what I'm really hoping it is, just me being overly worried. As for temps, the cool side tends to be about 75* to 80*, depending on room temp. The warm side the past couple days has been reaching about 95*. He has dug out under his hide, which holds up his...
From what I have read, it seems like the later into the fall/winter they go down, the later into the spring the get back up. While its not true in every tegu I've heard about, it does seem to happen a good deal I have noticed.
Since the day I received my Extreme last year, he has been very skittish. After coming out of hibernation about a month or so ago, I really have been working on calming him down around me. He was to the point that I could put my hand in, he would look at it for a second and then climb onto my...
My guy went right down. I didnt even notice him slowing down, so it suprised me when he stopped coming out. It really sucks lol. I was finally making some progress with the little guy.
If it makes you feel better, my guy is the same way. He doesnt like to get anywhere near my hand. Kinda sucks. I love to watch him in the cage, however he is getting so big at this point that I would love to hold him. I'm trying to be patient as well, but it is tough. I just want to reach in...
I have been out of town for the past week or so. My mom has been watching over my little guy while I was gone. Got home tonight to much larger, much fatter tegu. My mom said the last two days he has not eaten nearly as much, so I imagin he pigged out a couple days ago and hasnt had much of an...
That did not go well. I tried to grab him, however he was not having it. He ran from me, when I got near him he tail whiped me then ran again. I called it quits just because I figured it was a bad idea to chase him around.
On the other hand, he did look thinner today, so I am guessing he ate...
Ok. I will grab him in the morning and soak him. I think I saw somewhere in water about 85*? At his small size is the bathtub safe? Thanks for the replys. God knows its nothing, but I hate for it to be something.
My guys schedual has been chaning over the last few days. He was getting up at 6ish am (lights come on at 9:30) and going back under at about 2 pm (lights go off at 9:30). Last couple days he hasnt gotten up until about 9 and has stayed up until about 7ish.
I am likely just being an overly worried new parent, but I would rather be safe than sorry. I just got one of Bobby's extremes a little over a week ago. His substrate is cypress mulch. I have been feeding in the enclosure on a plate just becuase the little guy wants nothing to do with me at this...
Dang, I wish my guy was that tame. He is still running away when I put my hand in th cage. I havent come close to touching hims since the day I got him. I will say he does look bigger already though.
