    Brumation?

    From what i've read Beardies don't usually brumate until later in the year but if the general opinion is brumation, they are supposed to brumate for 6-8 weeks max. (again just from what I've read) To adjust the lighting just cover your tank where the light shines in and throw a vacation timer...

    Chacoan tegu growth rate...

    I looked at about 5 stores before I could find it without flavor. I went to Walgreens and found a decent sized bottle for $6. It is very smelly I got the unscented stuff and my hands smelt like fish for hours.

    Who's tegu is hibernating?

    My red appears to be slowing down and getting ready to. Very little appetite, not active for more than 1-3 hours per day. He is only a few months old and I haven't had him a month yet so I have no clue :)

    tegu food

    has anyone tried preparing a mixed food for their tegu's? I was wondering if I mixed fruit, veggies and meat in a food processor with some vitamins if it would be okay. I was also wondering if egg shells if ground up into the food would be a safe form of calcium. I've read that tegu's eat...

    tegu chow

    Has anyone tried preparing a mixed diet for tegu's? I was thinking about trying to mix some kind of veggies/fruit from the list with one or more meats added to the mix. I was also wondering if egg shells are a safe form of calcium. If I crushed them or ran the whole lot through a food...

    tegu chow

    I was thinking of trying to prepare a mixture of various good foods from the list to make a home made tegu chow with a food processor. Has anyone tried this thus far? I was thinking of using egg shells for calcium. Would that work as long as I cleaned them or should I just try to mix a good...

    Aussie water dragon *4 sale*

    what is their care? I have read on Bert Langwerf's page that they are super hardy but how is their temperment? They seem like awesome animals but I just don't know much about them.

    2008 Red Tegu Sale!!

    I am so thankful I got mine. He is still a bit flighty but he came right up to me yesterday and sniffed me. To say it was an exciting moment would be the exaggeration of the century. I love my red and other than I wish he would eat scrambled eggs and ground turkey for me he has been the most...

    Tegu Taming Timing

    Thanks for the advice Bobby. I have adjusted it so its a bit earlier but I will cover his cage too. He just doesn't seem to want to come out. I have been trying to feed him different stuff but so far all he has eaten are large crickets and a f/t fuzzy. He turned up his nose at scrambled eggs...

    Silly or stupid comments and questions that herpers hear..

    I work at a pet store and I had some college students ask me last week if they could feed a baby corn snake a live adult mouse, and if they could keep the snake in a fish bowl.

    Tegu Taming Timing

    I am very anxious to start interacting with my tegu but my work schedule requires me to work during the only times he is out of hiding. He gets up around 11-11:30am like clockwork and is only out for a couple hours. Usually by then I am getting ready for work. I know I'm not supposed to...
