    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...

    My male is 1.5 years old, this is his first burmation. About 2 weeks ago he was down for almost a week then was up for a few days and has been down for about another week. He's not always sleeping, sometimes I poke my head in and see him just laying in his hide with his eyes like half open. He...

    Good I'm glad this is normal then. I knew some did and some didn't some go down all winter some for a few days. He was my first reptile and he's the first to do this so far... My tegu might brumate at some point... I went out and got a ceramic heating bulb so now he can stay toastier without the...

    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. The last week or so I've noticed him staying in his hide all day and all night. He hasn't eaten in 3 days but hes not lost any weight or anything. The...

    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!!

    beardie with black skin?

    I was at a reptile rescue yesterday and this old man broke my heart! He was missing almost half his tail a couple toes and he had black skin... He wasn't showing off the black beard or puffing up or anything, his skin was black. The guy at the rescue said that he was a surrender, the people who...

    Do you have stuffies/blankies in your viv?

    Theres always a chance he might sleep on it if its comfy! I'd just make sure to keep it clean. My beardie doesn't sleep in any of his hides, he sleeps out in the open or sometimes even standing up... When he was little he used to sleep in a food dish. Sleeping spots when he was a baby

    Please Help! Very neglected little girl! *She's Gone* =(

    Poor thing, I'm glad you were able to offer her a new chance at life. I saw a similar case on CL a week or so ago not to far from me. It makes me sick! Keep us posted, we're all rooting for her! I saw somewhere that you can offer Pedialyte, for kids, to help with hydration. I'm not sure how...

    Beardie needs proper heat source?

    Is a heating pad bad all around then? I've seen a few people that have them on the sides of the tank, not under.
