Hi,
I am selling my 3 year old high contrast red (From bobby hill) because I don't have time for him anymore.
He is pretty tame but sometimes struggles when you hold him. He gets time outside his encousure every single day and and really enjoys exploring and laying in the sun that comes...
Is ur light a UVB and UVA bulb?
They need both. Most lights fore reptiles are UVA, only some are UVB. UVB lights cost more (around $40) for the bulb but are required.
My red really doesn't have shedding problems but i have noticed when i bath him everyday he doesn't shed properly.
If you are letting him take a bath everyday you might want to cut it back to twice a week or so.
Forgive me if i sound rude, But i was just wondering why your tegu is more of a dull pink than an orange/red.
Does anyone know what a tegu that looks like this will like like when its full grown?
Hey,
I purchased this red about 3 weeks ago not knowing i wasnÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t going to receive a hatchling (stupid ya, ya). he Has been probed and hes a male (They think), but as always you canÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t be 100% sure of their sex till they age a bit more. his body is currently 14...
Again, thanks to all for your help and concern.
I noticed my tegu is a little more shy/aggressive now ever since i repeatedly chased him around his cage to try and pick him up, i didn't necessarily force myself on him or grab him, i just made attempts to pet him and pick him up with the least...
Thanks everyone for your help.
I think im gonna give it a few days before i endlessly chase him around his cage while getting tail whipped. I gt a shirt in there now ill see how it goes tomorrow.
Man, he totally freaks out. He doesn't try and bite but even if i already have him in my arms he trys to jump right out and doesn't stop squirming. I Have only help him 3 times and never was he calm about it and never did it last more than a few seconds (holding him)
I am beginning to fear he...
You don't think repeatedly trying to get him out while he huffs and puffs and tail whips would stress him? If not, ill try your method. I just figured it might stress him/make him not like me.
Thanks.
I got a red from bobby a couple days ago, he looks beautiful and everything but hes really wild!
Theres no way i can pick him up without 'fighting' him yet so i have been cage feeding him. I know i am not suppose to be fighting him to grab him so how do i successfully feed him in another tank...
