    worried my tegu will get hurt with his escape attempts

    lol i think i'm going to put more substrate in so that he can stand up and reach it. That way, if he gets his claws stuck he can at least touch the ground.

    worried my tegu will get hurt with his escape attempts

    My tegu Omega, who i've had for around 5 mo i believe, has begun to try to escape in the last 2-3 months. He will reach up and grab the mesh of the top of the tank and literally do a pull up! I'm worried he's going to hurt himself. Besides getting a new, taller tank does anyone have any...

    yeah i put him in the freezer right away. I can't run his blood but i can check for abnormalities and parasites and such. I may articulate his skeleton if i feel up to it. on a side note, i was talking to a guy in florida that traps them about what was wrong with Rorschach and i let him know...

    So I have Rorschach eating cat food daily and he's pooping again. He hasn't changed to the naked eye, but i wouldn't expect a visible weight change for a few more weeks at least. I have noticed him twitching his toes. He was doing that when i first got him, but i got a UVB bulb and it stopped...

    ZIIINNNGGG lol but yes he did that. in his defense he tried to find a place that wasn't me, but we were in a hammock so my leg is better than my head.

    also i don't have a way to check body temp, just ambient.

    Skinny Tegu

    he usually hides out under the bedding. if he's not under there then he's under the heat lamps. and the temp is fine. last i checked it was in the mid 80's. perhaps he just ate too much…. and i called the vet and they want to do X-rays, which i don't have the money for right now. They think it...
