    Possible B&W Argentine Tegu needs rehousing - Madison, Wisconsin

    Hello. So I'm in a strange situation. I'm involved in a court case that may very well put me in prison for an indeterminate time. I have a wonderful two year old black and white Argentine tegu whom I love and worry about her future care. I would like to see if anybody would be willing to rehouse...

    Free B&W Argentine - all supplies - needs rehome

    Oh, I should update this! Apologies and thanks to everybody who was interested, but the good news is that I was able to come up with a solution to keep and care for my darling tegu. Everything actually worked out in the end thanks to my job being kind enough to work with my situation and now...

    Free B&W Argentine - all supplies - needs rehome

    Hello. I live in Madison, Wisconsin and I'm in need of rehoming my black and white Argentine tegu. Her name is Moxxi and she's a little over a year old. Unfortunately, my joint effort to care for her has turned into a solo one and I can no longer give her the care she deserves. Her personality...

    Urgent Poop Issue

    The next morning, she seems perfectly normal. She didn't poop, but peed, though. I withheld giving her a mouse today and she seemed completely okay. I'm not sure if I should be worried or not...

    Urgent Poop Issue

    The more I thought about it, the more I think that's what it was. It's as if she was trying to push out the mouse that wasn't fully digested alongside normal feces. But why? She's been eating them for weeks with no issues. Could wean size really be too much for her? Maybe I should go back down a...

    Urgent Poop Issue

    So my Argentine tegu Moxxi has a general routine going. She comes out around 3-4 am (so early, it drives me crazy!), I take her out and into the bathroom so she can poop, and then let her go back into my room where I feed her. She's generally good to roam in my room for a while and bask (made...

    Bipolar in/out of enclosure?

    So things have been going generally well with my four month old b&w Argentine girl Moxxi whom I've had for a little over a month now. I've adjusted her cage temps nicely, learned to vary her diet, and have attempted to socialize with her every chance I get. She's lost her flightiness and doesn't...

    First Time / Worried Sick / Reassurance

    It's this one here: https://www.amazon.com/SB100-FROST-Solar-Brite-000Hrs-Incandescent/dp/B00IKVEESA There's a reptile store (that I love to death) here in town. Before I ever got Moxxi, I told them to set me up with practically everything I would need. This was the day bulb they recommended...

    First Time / Worried Sick / Reassurance

    Okay, the temp gun was helpful. The surface temp of her basking spot seemed to be around 101-103 degrees, so I moved it up a bit closer to the light and now it seems to range from 108-110, so that's a bit more relief. Been trying to vary her diet with other things like mealworms, but she...

    First Time / Worried Sick / Reassurance

    You're right. I don't want to play a guessing game with anything, so I went ahead and ordered one. Thanks!

    First Time / Worried Sick / Reassurance

    Thank you all so much for the replies! It really helps to put my mind at ease and to know that she's doing well. Hearing this sort of direct advice is exactly what I needed. I realize now that the enclosure example pic is actually a little outdated. The small bowl in the middle is what I use...

    First Time / Worried Sick / Reassurance

    So like the title says, it's my first time owning and caring for a tegu. In all truth, I've never personally owned a reptile before, but I spent two years planning, researching, talking to caretakers, going to expos, gathering and setting up equipment. Got a better job. Moved to a bigger place...
