    Hey everyone ! This is my first post ! I just got my new red baby three weeks ago. I got him from a reptile show, an his previous owners told me he’s approximately 4 month old upon purchase.

    Hi everyone!

    I just got my very first Black and White Argentinian Tegu about 6 weeks ago. I call it Bubba and it is about 12 weeks old now. What are some good suggestions for bonding with it? Also he seems to want to only eat crickets and on occasions chicken. Does that seem normal? Last but not least, well...

    Problem shedding

    Hi everyone: My tegu is having a hard time shedding. Until now he has not had the humidity he needed because we were getting his new enclosure built. I was bathing him 2-3 times a week. Now he has the perfect enclosure and has been in there a few days. I gave him another bath today, but the...

    Shedding Problems?

    Evening peeps, my tegu has been in shed (or perhaps left shed?) within the past 2 weeks. His enclosure, for the most part, has remained above 70% humidity, sometimes a bit above 90% after the morning misting. The low end of 70, the high end of 90 (this fluctuates on the day) basking spot tends...

    A possible shed issue?

    Hello! I have a month old blue x blue cross male yegu going through a shed. Its been around five days and only his tail has shed. Everything from the base of his tail and up is still intact.

    Is my baby tegu going to shed or starting to brumate?

    I have a three week old tegu and I noticed that he sleeps alot. I got him 6 days ago. He wakes up around 9am then goes to sleep around 2-3pm. Is it odd for a baby to sleep this much? Maybe he is going into shed? He eats fine and he is pretty active when awake. Should I be worried?
