    Behavior

    TO THE VET!!! Ya crap that doesn't look comfortable for her at all poor girl. Lots of CLEAN baths, maybe with some Betadine in them? OUCH! My 'gu got a couple of the vertical cracks once, but not that bad, I made sure to baithe him every day whether he wanted it or not, and I broke out the...

    BURN HELP

    My tegu has a pretty large burn from using his cage lame to hold onto while he crawled out the vent. As he was doing so he must have rested with his side touching the heat lamp. It's pretty nasty and taking a while to heal, but Betadine is really the best I think. Dilute it in the bath and let...

    Swollen gums

    Dont worry, looks like healthy hydrated skin. Just make sure it stays clean when you baithe him and stuff. I use a wet q-tip in the bath the remove any stuck dirt.

    Trying to eat my slipper... Youtube vid

    Yep DragonMetalHead; He's named after Ronnie James Dio. I found the name Dio online before I even got my 'gu, and was like "ooh thats a badass name", then the next week RJD died of cancer, and the week after that, Dio hatched! Sometimes I tell him he's reincarnated, but I find that a little...

    Mold in the substrate and on the driftwood

    you should post a picture if possible. Is it white fuzzy mold? like food mold, or a stringy like stuff that grows under the substrate and sticks to the bark? cause fuzzy stuff is most likely a bad mold, and you probably should just replace substrate, and scrub the wood and enclosure with soapy...

    Trying to eat my slipper... Youtube vid

    Today was basically the 3rd decent day of the year here so far, and Dio's 2nd day outside. I totally forgot that natural UVB wigs him out the first few times... As he was sunbaithing and waiting to be fed, he started to go after the cat food, so I let him have a bite (huge mess/ mistake). I...

    Interesting shed

    Weird sheds are cool. A couple of times my Tegu's sheds on his feet have come off like gloves! I pressed them in a book somewhere.

    Swollen gums

    My tegu's gums have always stuck out since he matured. You see them especially when he is crashed out under his lamps. His mouth and gums are totally healthy, no rot or hard tumor like spots; I simply think he's overweight. I've started feeding him less often, but they still squish out, coco...

    WHO DISLIKES

    I walked in to my parents watching what I think was "man/woman vs wild" and they were eating some lizard.. then I realized it was a tegu and I screamed. I was so mortified, I will never watch that show again... I do like Bear Grylls though, he has lots of good tips on survival and hiking scenarios.

    Tegu pocket's

    longsleeve shirt under a baggy sweatshirt works, and carry em in your sleeve. I always found pullover sweatshirts to be the best. My gu loves the hood and the kangaroo pocket, but hes too big for both now :)

    2 MONTHS HARD AT IT

    Dio has never been the kind of tegu that comes towards you, but I think one of the key parts of getting him to be affectionate was putting him in my shirt/pocket/sleeve or bed everyday where it smelled like me, was warm and quiet. sleeves were definitely his favorite place to be. you should...

    Water.

    Dio haaated water as a baby. He would just run in circles in the tub trying to escape, i'd just leave him in there alone in the quiet for like 5-10 mins, sometimes turning the most of the lights out calmed him down too. He also never went potty in the tub until he was around 2 months old. He...
