I use springtails, powder blue isopods, giant orange isopods, and dwarf striped grey isopods, and some mealworm bettles. Then obviously the roaches. It works well, the isopods will have a giant tegu poo gone within 24 hours, its impressive, the springtails control any mold and or fungus, and the roaches and beetles do wonders at picking up the scraps of food the tegus fling about, such messy eaters. Most people can't watch a tegu eat a rodent...its so damn violent and messy. I do frozen thawed and even that doesn't stop them from ragdolling the rat, whipping it back and forth flinging bits of blood, hair, and even tissue around.You know lobretto I've got more advice from you than I have an actual tegu forum. That forum sucksI love my beardy.org family. I rethink the pond thing that sounds like a headache. Thanks for the heads up she does throw fits and does throw her bowl around. I guess that would have been a bad decision on my part now that i think about it. the brick is also a great idea her nails are getting long already thank God in doing this soon. Colony inside is also good idea. What kind of cleaner bugs do you ise and where you get them? XP you dod pretty good with her name actually better than most. Mine kiddos are 5 and 6 so not ready for stuff like that quite yet. Thats a good thought for the future though. " You want $ 10 for the movies scoop up all that poo hahaha. Tha k you for the Frey'ja hatchling comment I think she would too. Shes Trans,Citrus Tiger, 100%Het Hypo. What adults are you looking for friend. I know a few reputable breeders I can contact
Most morphs are just fine to breed together visual or not. The two that need to be avoided is trans on trans as that leads to so many issues that often lead to death in the first days to weeks of life all for the chance at a paradox that is isn't a true morph and can not be reproduced, people who bread for paradox are scarficing many lives for a designer lizard that can not be reproduced by breeding with another paradox, its a paradox not morph. The other being 2 leatherback as this is the road to silkies which also are special needs and most get adopted by people who are none the wiser and they end up dieing. Hypo on hypo is fine, zero on zero, witblits on witblits, yada yada, haven't seen any real issues with these pairings. Remeber a lot of this has to do more with the genetic bottleneck caused by excessive inbreeding then it does the actual gene pairing.Frey'ja is a genetic powerhouse!!! She looks way different as a baby, but was gorgeous then to.
I'm wanting to work with leatherback, hypo, trans, whits, and zero for sure, maybe g stripe and dunner also at some point. But other than hypo i want them to be het, not visuals. (I realize leatherback, dunner,and g stripe are all dominant genes, so hets are harder to get). I think hypo is ok to breed visual to visual but most others are not.
Actually I'm nit looking for a visual leatherback i have a nale and female already, two visuals can produce silkies and i want to avoid doing that. A zero female would be fine depending on her hets. Zen is het for zero and wits, so i can produce both from him.Thank youso ooh yeah thats alot as far as who can mate woth who and why.... Im not familiar with if I wanted to breed id have to learn alot. So right now your looking for adult leatherback with those traits, and zero with those traits ?
