    B&W Adult female, 4 years old, Southern CA - For sale $100

    I'm moving out of the state and sadly need to rehome my tegu. She's very sweet, eats well (every 2-3 days, has been fed on whole ground prey all her life and loves beef the most), and is very photogenetic as you can see. If you're looking for a tegu who loves to free roam, she loves to explore...

    Tegu buries waste and gnat problems

    Hi all, as the title says, my tegu buries his waste in his enclosure (cypress mulch), and although sometimes I'm able to find and pick it out, my method just isn't working. That seems to be the reason why there's a lot of gnats/fruit flies in his enclosure. Does anyone have any tips about what...

    Interacting with tegu

    Good idea. My friend got a hoodie with a large center pocket to fit a tegu -- that gives the tegu a dark hiding spot while also getting used to being handled by you. Plus bonus body heat.

    How to fix oversaturated substrate

    Hey guys, I have a tegu with Terra Firma dirt from thebiodude as his substrate, mixed with cypress mulch. His humidity is within the range after lots of tweaking, so I don't want to reduce the amount or frequency of how often his misting system runs. However, there is a lot of water starting...

    Interacting with tegu

    What kind of tegu do you have? What I did with my black and white in the beginning, and what I've read around, is to start them out in a smaller space like an empty bathtub, and you get in and sit with them. That way, they can roam, but can't roam far from you, and have to get used to your...

    Red with shedding issues also has a lack of appetite

    Thank you for these thoughts! He didn't bruminate this winter -- lamps were kept on -- but he did have constipation issues a month ago from the discomfort of his tail cracking.

    Red with shedding issues also has a lack of appetite

    Hi, all, I've got a red tegu here -- about 1.5 years old -- who has gone through a couple of things in the last few months, and I'd like to get your advice on how to get him to eat more, and if you know what to do with these signs: He's had trouble getting off his last shed -- his tail got...

    Skinny tegu concerns

    Hi, all, I have a ~10 month old who I'd appreciate your thoughts on if she's dangerously underweight and small for her size. She just finished a shed a few days ago, but looks very skinny and her skin is sagging around her legs and sides. Energy-wise, she's still energetic -- climbs up my arm...
