    For Sale: Female Red Tegu

    Hey guys, I unfortunately have to find a new home for Tofu, my 2yo female red tegu. We are moving to a new place that does not allow large lizards. Asking for $300, with enclosure: $475. I am located in southern New Hampshire and would like local pick up. We have had her for about 4 months...

    Should I feed her more often?

    She has started to have a groove in between her tailbase and lower back, going down her body length. Does this mean she is getting obese? I don't really know what an obese gu looks like.

    Should I feed her more often?

    I have been feeding Tofu every other day and recently since she has gone into the end stages of her shed and she has been looking for food whenever she is out of her enclosure. She tried to bite my jacket sleeve once (it smelled like food perhaps) and just seems hungry. She also has taken to...

    Tofu's enclosure!

    I think a lot of people mix peat or sphagnum moss with some other substrate that doesn't hold as much humidity, I may be wrong though as I have never used it either. I also feel that different people have different circumstances so choosing the best bedding for your own personal circumstance...

    Charging??!

    Yeah, it was so weird. This morning she did not charge me at all and I was able to give her scritches under her chin but then later on today (when I got back home from school) I woke her up like how I did this morning. But this time I ended up moving my hand after letting her smell me and she...

    Tofu's enclosure!

    Yep! I've checked around on some sites and it says that Hemlock will do the same job Cypress will. To be honest, I think many recommend Cypress and it has morphed into this thought that only cypress is the best out there for Gu's. But in retrospect, what makes cypress good is that it does not...

    Charging??!

    LOL yeah, she has been buried for the whole day yesterday and hardly comes out (now that I put in an UTH in there for her to keep temps up she likes to burrow and lay on top of that). Perhaps she will wander out today since it is feeding day..

    Tofu's enclosure!

    I just called Home Depot in Portsmouth and they will have hemlock mulch in by the end of next week. I asked about 100% cypress but they said they won't have any. I have been reading that hemlock is just as good though so I think I will get a bag of that instead!

    Charging??!

    Charging??!

    Okay, she did hibernate before I got her (I think)..what are some signs of this puberty stage?

    Charging??!

    So ever since Tofu has been put into her new enclosure she has started charging me whenever I put my hand in her enclosure. So far it has only happened when I first put my hand in her enclosure. She does not bite or anything, only charge reaaaaal fast then stop and posture...Does anyone know...
