    Heartbroken and devistated

    This morning I woke to find Thor, my red/blue tagu had passed over night. I do not know why, he seemed perfectly healthy, I have done all the I have been advised to do with him and at 2 years old he is gone. At the local repticons, I had been advised to keep him in an outdoor enclosure, he was...

    Cooler temps in Florida and eating

    Ok this might seem like a very simple and basic question but I want to be ontrack for my Thor. My Red / Blue is in an outdoor enclosure and all through the summer has eaten absolutely ravenously (I obtained him in spring so this is my first winter). As the Fall temps have cooled (by central...

    Diet Advice

    I do feed mostly the ground chicken thighs (with bone and skin) the breast was an attempt to blend some veggies in try to get him to eat a little and maybe lower the fat content on an occasional meal. He is stubborn, lol. I do also feed him soft boiled eggs (which he loves).

    Diet Advice

    Seeking advice on feeding Thor, a one year old red x blue. I have been feeding Thor pretty much exclusively ground turkey (lean) and ground chicken (whole, including skin, fat and bone), mostly the latter. This diet has been due the advice of the local "experts" that I have spoken with...

    Temperature question

    I am a new member on here and am certainly a victim of a little information being a dangerous thing. Through local advice and chatting with vendors at our local Repticon shows, I have built an outdoor enclosure for my baby. As I read more I am seeing recommendations for a rather wide variance...

    New house for Thor

    The wire floor is just for drainage since it is outside. It is covered with a tray with drain holes and mulch so his feet never touch that screening.

    Is my Tegu "Kiju a true blue X red???

    I bought a Tegu at Repticon in Tampa that was represented as a "Spider-man" Tegu. I was told it was 75% red and 25% blue. He is an awesome critter, just a big baby but strong as an ox (glad he likes me).

    New house for Thor

    Just finished this house for my baby. I live in Florida and this is meant to keep him outside in the sunshine. Looking for opinions. I got him in November, had him in a 30 gal aquarium and needless to say it didn't take long for him to outgrow it. Hoping this will last him a while but am hoping...
