    I think my tegu is scratching up his lips trying to escape from his enclosure :(

    Recently I’ve noticed that Kamata’s upper lip (?) scale has been scratched up. A while ago he was having problems with a bacterial infection so at first I assumed that it was just remnants of it (his scales have always been a little wrinkly even after his treatment) but as I’ve been keeping an...

    Live Fish for enrichment?

    I have a small pool for Kamata to dip in if he wants to, but I was wondering if any of you guys have ever installed a small pond in one of your enclosures? I was thinking about adding a waterfall-esque filter and some small fish for him to hunt. What do you guys think? And if it’s not an awful...

    I’LL DEFINITELY TRY THAT! Right before I logged on as I was turning off his lamps for the night my new uvb bulb I got 2 weeks ago just blew out :/ maybe that will help! I’m also getting a new surge protector tomorrow for double insurance

    Taming advice for a weird enclosure!

    AW THANK YOU SO MUCH :D !! I KNOW, RIGHT?? I tried to come just pick it up but we realized it wouldn’t fit through the door or windows so he even drove an hour and a half to build it in the kitchen with me!! OH THATS AN AWESOME IDEA! Yeah! The plexiglass is clamped on the inside and I was...

    Help w blowing bulbs!

    IM GLAD THE HUMIDITY IS STAYING PRETTY HIGH THEN! It’s usually around 80% and I’ve noticed his shedding seems pretty easy for him! I also periodically try to check the layers since the tutorial I used for his bio active substrate said the moisture should be retained at the bottom and it seems to...

    OH THATS A GOOD IDEA. I’ll try propping it open when I get home this afternoon! I did notice as soon as I open it a lot of the moisture escapes so I’m hoping it isn’t because of that extreme transition either!

    OKAY COOL :D I’ve been trying to talk to him and he seems really aware of my voice/presence so I’ll keep trying that and the t-shirt technique!! Thank you!

    Taming advice for a weird enclosure!

    Hey, you guys! I was just looking for some advice for making my tegu feel at ease but also not feel like I'm invading his space! My grandpa helped me build his enclosure! It is 8x4x4 with rolling wheels which is absolutely perfect; he did everything I asked for + more and I can't tell you how...

    OH THANK YOU!! I’LL TRY LOOKING INTO MEGA-RAY BULBS! I didn’t realize putting it in a lamp with a higher voltage could decrease the lifespan, so I’ll have to double check the voltage and buy a new lamp if so! AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFO!!!

    Maybe!! My humidity is about at 88% right now. He’s in an 8x4x4 enclosure with a vent on each side, so I could definitely try either propping the top to his cage open a little bit or installing another vent at the top!

    OH, THAT COULD EXPLAIN SOME THINGS! I’ve mostly tried using zoomed bulbs. I’ll let my grandpa ((contractor who also built my little guy’s enclosure)) come take a look at it!
