    Depends on how high the case is suspended. My enclosure is 3 feet tall so it might work.

    Are there any negative effects of eating bread?

    I feed my tegu bread maybe once every two weeks, only a biscuit, and shake it in a vitamin/calcium powder container to the point that it is coated in the dust. I read Burt Bert Langerwerf fed his tegu's bread occasionally, and saw a picture of his red tegus eating bread. I was wondering what...

    My Tegu Loves Fruit... What Are Your Tegu's Favorite Fruits?

    Since my tegu is not the size to swallow grapes whole he chews them down a lot and breaks them up. I'll see how his poo looks today. I also dust every meal with calcium especially the fruit, or I will add crushed egg shells from at least one egg. With the fruit I usually get it a bit wet with...

    lost ball python help

    I lost a BP once a long time ago in the basement. I read on some sites to put down flour around the area to track the snake's movement, lay down a heat pad that's always on for warmth and they might lay there since it's warm, also keep some food out for the snake near the heat pad. I did that...

    Help with Enclosure

    as a sealant I use harsh weather grade permanent silicone. I used the typical white "waterproof"(NOT TRUE) caulk on a small area of my melamine enclosure and the humidity actually caused the white caulk to loosen up and fall off. Luckily it was just a test on an unimportant part of the wood. But...

    Undergrounds Tegu Talk

    It's an interesting, good video. I don't understand the negativity people have for it. Guess people just have to have something to be negative about.

    Gelatin diet update

    There is "insufficient evidence" for a lot of great supplements/food that people use which do help. The quote I gave was not a very good one. I would expect you need way more than the supplements you listed for such constant nagging condition as yours, and that those might not work. Well...

    I need a good place to buy baby chicks, large mice, and small rats. LLLReptile was my past buyer, but I am curious if there are better places to get feeders.

    Oh... too bad. Is there any way he can get unbanned? Seems to be a quality tegu owner, maybe we could learn something from having him here.

    Godzilla being aggresive and bad shed

    Olive oil didn't work that well for my tegu's really stuck tail shed. I used petroleum jelly recently after a 20 minute soak in warm water and it worked. I took him out of the bath and right away I applied the petroleum to his tail. Then I put him back in his enclosure, waited about an hour, and...
