He ate a roach today, that’s it. He’s been super lethargic most of the time, with the occasional burst of...

    Hey!! I know im a little late to respond, but hopefully its still relevant! Ur supposed to feed every 2/3 days, but until they come out of brumation they may be less hungry. Yes, also, you do need to feed more than just roaches. They need fruits, veggies, meats and all topped with calcium powder...

    Humidity and lighting… how do they coexist?

    Well i must say you're going above and beyond with your tegu... Mine has a zilla heating light and a long vitamin D light on the way.... My tegu has been happy! As for humidity, im certainly no expert as mine doesn't get too much of that. If anything, just mist the bedding daily if that. I'm...

    Substrate depth and temperature

    I only have enough substrate to cover his whole body, no deeper. He doesn't need to go that far down. As for the temp underground, I have to imagine that in the wild the underground that they burrow in wouldn't be warm. It's a very good escape from heat. An excellent balance. Because if it's too...

    Letting tegu explore

    I have a 6 month old and he’s been all around the house! He wanders my room with the door shut and wanders the house on a leash (sometimes off it) As long as there’s nothing dangerous around let em stretch their legs!

    Help with a Golden Tegu Baby

    I feel you. I’ve had so many reptiles and this reminds me a lot of my blue tongued skink. He was absolutely terrified of us and we took good care of him! Reptiles get really stressed when they get home, they hate change of environment. first off, for you specifically- start off by not feeding...

    Tegus femeas podem armazenar espermas ?

    embora não seja muito comum, é inteiramente possível para quase qualquer lagarto engravidar sem contato com o macho, ESPECIALMENTE se ela já teve bebês antes. (perdoe-me se minha gramática estiver incorreta, português é meu quarto idioma e não é incrível.)
