    Tegu Question!

    mine eats scrambled eggs, mice, ground turkey, talapia, chicken, turkey necks, shrimp, baby food and some other stuff. ehhh generally they don't eat a ton of veggies, i've read that the reds eat more veggies than the b/w argentine's. I've got a b/w argentine and the only way i've gotten it to...

    Anyone know this monitor?

    Wow thats a massive lizard. The only one I can think of would have been a black throat monitor. I think that lizard in the picture was said to be the largest (captive) black throat in the world... I saw a black throat at a reptile place close to my house, this one was super sweet but I'm not...

    Hi I have a question, I'm thinking mines starting to. Hes a 1.5 yo male, I haven't had to deal with this yet because he was a baby last winter.

    bald spot?

    I was giving my beardie a bath today and I noticed that there was a weird patch of skin on his left back leg. It's where a crease would sort of form when bent. I never noticed it before, I was wondering if it was normal or something that needed to be looked at... Theres no scabbing, puss...

    How often do you take your beardie to the vet?

    Cool, I was thinking of taking him in within the next couple weeks anyway but I wasn't sure if it was necessary. I wanna make sure my little guy stays healthy! :D

    How often do you take your beardie to the vet?

    Curiosity question... Do you take yours every x months or just on an as needed basis? My beardies just over a year and hes never been to the vet (never had any red flags), should he be going for check ups?

    new tegu!

    He/she doesn't have a name yet. :( Though I'm open to any suggestions! Its an argentine black and white. More pictures will be up when it starts getting used to me... Right now it explores the enclosure but as soon as it sees me it hides, I'm not scary!!
