@justwealth They are for the most part, yes. Only the Argentine locale, though. The Colombian tegus are a little more tricky to tame. Savannah monitors are fairly easy to tame as well, whereas the species of tree monitors are very tricky.
@GHSH1 The rat was already dead. It was a frozen rat that I purchased from the store and then thawed in warm water.... These rats were never in nature. They were bred for food.
hey i just got a red tegu argentine and he ate for me today (ground turkey/scrambled eggs) and he is about a yearling... do you know some where i could get a hide or something that he can get in easily.. and also what lights do you use for your tegu??
Hey i have a question a con is coming in my city and was thinking about getting a tegu and i was wondering if you could feed a tegu anything other than rodents/ mice rats ect ect my moms very allergic.
That is an impressive animal. It is obvious you take amazing care of it....being a tegu keeper myself, I am especially fond of them. I am very impressed with the temperment of yours....was it always that well behaved? Or was it a fighter when it was smaller?
@YounggJewlelz. Put a patch of sand somewhere in your house. With lots of food in the middle. And leave it. If you see marks in the sand you will know he is eating and okay.
i have a question...i have a baby a argentine bxw tegu and hes 5 weeks old and i feed him frozen pinkys but he wont just eat them i have to put turkey on them ijust wanted to know if thats just a habbit or if he doesnt like them because the guy at the store he loves pinkys.
i love ur vids they was what got me into reptiles my first reptile was a bluetongued lizard
thats because i showed your vids to my perents how hated reptiles then they started 2 warm up 2 them now i have 8
1 bluetounged lizard a breeding pair of fire salamanders a albino african clawed frog 1 carpet python 2 long necked turtles and a bearded dragon all because of you!!!!!! so i just want to THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, but it costs me about $146 to change the substrate, which is why I don't do it often. Cypress Mulch is more expensive here than it is in the states.
You take the mouse, Leave it out for a while, wait, then your mouse is defrosted. Or put it in a glass of warm (not hot) water.
make sure the mouse if completely defrosted. Feel the spin a bit. if its still icy cold, leave it out more. it usually takes like an hour. i do and hour and 30 minutes just to be sure.
No, pine is toxic to reptiles, so is cedar. And if you want an adult in a permanent enclosure, 6 feet is not large enough. This is just his winter enclosure.
