They both look perfectly happy in that picture, you know I have no problem with people suggesting things. Giving advice about anything...

    Problems with humidity

    Humidity problems fixed! I changed out all the old substrate that was a mixture of coconut husk chips (that I bought under the understanding they were amazing for humidity, no they suck! Never buy them) and cypress mulch. Replaced it with nothing but Eco Earth and wow!! By now, it's been about...

    Problems with humidity

    Digital, I question there accuracy maybe Your enclosure looks almost just like mine, I think it must be my substrate. I am going to get Coco coir and use that and plant lots of real plants in the cage. [hr] I'll also make the plexi glass doors more tightly sealed against air flow. Hopefully...

    Problems with humidity

    I agree, but the thing is I have two humidity monitors in each cage, they change so much it's odd. With highs as much as 95% and lows in the 50s all in same day, sometimes as low as in the 40s [hr] I prefer for the ground to not be wet under them all the time, it's not like they are unhealthy...

    Problems with humidity

    Okay so I am having so seriously frustrating problems with humidity in closed chambers!! I don't understand why?! It's a closed chamber, lights and everything inside the cage. Caulked seams and painted with exterior paint. I don't know what's happening to all the moisture so quickly! I have to...

    Black and White Argentina Tegu for sale, yearling.

He is tame but needs a little time, I have taken him out everyday I've had him, with difficulty, and once he is out of cage is fine, will ride on shoulder sit in your hand, ride on your head and eat out of your hand. He is healthy and eating. His...

    Sulcata Help pictures included.

    That's a good looking sully :) I'd be patient, I got a rescue from a pet store and it took him about 2-3 days of lots of soaks, humidity, and Uvb to start really eating and being active, he is much more use to me. He is smaller than yours, a baby but I think once yours just really get comfy...

    sulcata prospect! help me.

    Activity, make sure he moves around at least some. I know babies hide a lot but even with that I see my torts roaming around quite a bit. Open, bright eyes, make sure they don't look swollen. It doesn't look like it from pic. I wouldn't worry about Pyramiding because he is so young, even if he...

    Bought a Tegu today!!!

    O I won't :) none of my animals go a day without interaction. My torts get held every day, soaked, feed and loved on. My plan is for my Tegu (who will be named Oreo) to be my shoulder buddy. Cruise my room with me, the house. I'm going to try and potty train him

    Bought a Tegu today!!!

    O wow that is a big one. Mine is just a yearling, or maybe even younger. I wanted the smallest one so I could really socialize with it as it grows Its going to be put in a 20" wide and 5 feet long enclosure, with front sliding plexidoors.
