    Wild Tegus.

    My 'gu' is quite gentle in accepting food but I still use tongs or a feeding dish for the reasons stated above. BTW: Is 'babaduk' a name used locally or your own name for them?

    good concrete waterproof sealant

    A two part epoxy swimming pool paint should do the job nicely. I have used epoxy on plywood fish tanks many times in the past with no toxicity problems.

    Lighter weight building material?

    You could use ratio of more peat and / or coir to topsoil. The moisture content will be a weight determining factor in this case.

    No more UVB. Tegu by window

    Unfortunately window glass blocks UVB rays.

    I'm not afraid, but...

    My ♂ Cholmondely has spent the last few months being mostly inactive. He spends a couple of hours under the heat lamps in the morning & spends the remainder of the day in his hides. Not much of an appetite at all. Recently he has been perking up a little. Is eating more & spending more time out...

    Need advise

    I can only agree with the above. Tegus grow @ an astonishing rate! My ♂ is just over 4' & is just a little over 1 year old! He did not brumate & showed no inclination to do so. Most likely he will take a nap this year but has shown no inclination to slow down @ this point.

    So where'd you get your Tegu?

    Mine came from Ty Park. I recommend him highly.

    They may get along if no ♀s are present but most likely, they wouldn't.

    How Long Can A Baby Go Without Food

    This is normal behavior for a tegu in new surroundings. The crickets should get her started but don't be overly concerned if she goes a few days without food. Small dubia roaches would be even better if you have them available. She appears alert & curios in the pic which is a good sign. Some...

    Tegu Affection

    I've wondered this myself & am thinking that it may be a tactic to startle & flush out prey.
