    PLEASE HELP!

    Also do roaches provide the same benefits as crickets in regards to phosphorous and other nutritional qualities? In other words can I replace crickets with roaches? Because I feel like he is getting to large for crickets.

    Okay noted, I've been taking most of my advice from Johnny Larocca. But I feed him ground turkey, crickets, scrambled eggs, ground beef, occasional FT fuzzies and wild caught salmon, kiwi, strawberries, and superworms.

    Okay thanks! What kind of moisturizer is safe on the tegu's skin? I don't want him to have some sort of harmful reaction to anything.

    I've recently moved my 6 month old b&w tegu from a 40 gallon tank to a custom built 6ft x 2ft enclosure. However, in the last month of living in the 40 gallon tank he was not receiving adequate humidity levels, and as a result, his tail has multiple layers of stuck shed. With daily baths of...
