    Venison?

    I've ordered venison from Hare-today a few times, I feed it raw, and my girl LOVES it.

    vision cages

    I'm getting one for Ellie, only because a close friend is giving me a great deal, and even then, it will only be temporary. I don't think they are very fitting for an adult tegu, for many reasons.

    How well do tegus read emotion?

    Yesterday morning I had to put down my beloved basset hound due to cancer. I was an emotional wreck the whole day, and surprisingly, when I went to get out Ellie, she came up to me and put her head into my hands, let my scratch her neck for a long time, and then calmly crawled up my arm. The...

    Anyone interested?

    Went down to get my feeders today and saw a nice looking argentine black & white tegu for sale. Apparently some one turned it in because they didn't want it anymore, and its aggressive. If there are any experienced handlers looking for a "project tegu" in the central FL area, its a pretty decent...

    Ellie's Thread

    Ellie is at 30 inches! She's a fierce eater, and still has her "I'm too good for you" attitude, but has improved since I've let her free roam my room and carried her throughout the house. Here's some recent pictures.

    Update: Ally - b/w x red hybrid

    Wow! She looks a lot like her sibling Ellie! Lol! Funny they have similar names, and mine has a bit of an attitude as well. (; How big is Ally? Ellie is right at 30 inches now.

    Tegu hours

    Just wondering; how long does your tegu stay up? I have Ellie on a 12 hour clock schedule, 8am-8pm. The past few days she has been staying up until I turn the light off, then will march herself to her favorite hide, doze off, and is back out right at 8am! I find it funny, and I love seeing her...

    Just plain strange

    They said he was handled often, and when I first got him he seemed to be handled fine, and would just sit in your arms. He'd never wrap around you or anything, just kinda sit there. Now he seems like something is bothering him. Even when he brushes against himself, he turns to see what it was...

    Just plain strange

    No, he didn't hibernate/brumate at all. I had the thermometer in there and on the hot spot it moved up to about 86 degrees, and not much more. Just for a general aspect its between 85-90 on the hot side, and he is usually right there under his light.
