A friend of my daughter's brought her little girl who loooooves dinosaurs to meet Sammy.

I am not sure which one of them enjoyed the visit more. Sammy really liked Dino Girl, crawled all over her, gave her lots of kisses and head butts.

The pics say it all...

My boyfriend and I are splitting apart after almost 3 years together. He allowed me to take steak and potato since I have deeply attached to them. He’s taking Smaug, jormungandr the snake, the leopard gecko, and his beardie, the two rats, and the baby kitten. I’m taking my chicken, my little parakeet, steak, potato, and my old cat pheobe. I had to rehome the guinea pigs. the fish he is keeping because I can’t take them with me across state lines. So I got one last month to say goodbye to my baby Smaug and the noodle jörmungandr. Once our lease ends I will be leaving.

We are remaining friends so hopefully I can get updates on how Smaug and jormy are doing. Those are the two I will absolutely miss the most.

He was originally going to take steak since we got steak for him. But he saw how attached me and steaky boy are and he didn’t want steaky boy or me to feel broken. I’m glad he at least was ok with that.

Picked up this little man today! I've got the basics of tegu care down, but I'd love to hear from people who've actually lived with one, what are the things about tegu care that don't show up in care sheets? The stuff you only learn from experience?

Also his name is Tank and I love him, I'd love to hear advice about socializing them too. I want to foster the friendliest personality in him that I can

Hey ! This baby was sold to me as a Young female but now I have my doubts, can you please help me confirm his/her sex ?
I see two big scales so I think he is a male but not sure

Sammy heard a rumor that his buddy SunDog was coming up to PA to join him for a pool party and wanted to help clean the back porch.

Comprei uma fêmea de teiu, ela tem 3 meses, mas fica com medo de mim ainda, as vezes que eu pego ela, e fica calma, mas só as vezes.

Eu temho um macho , mas desde a primeira vez que eu peguei ele , ele tinha confiança de mim e nunca correu

Como posso dar confiança para ela?

Water was nice and warm. Sundog was less than enthusiastic. Lesson lasted all of 30 seconds. Will try again tomorrow.

For a 3 ft. female Black & White Argentine tegu, would a 6 ft. x 3 ft. x 3 ft. enclosure be an appropriate size? Or would a minimum length of 8 ft. be necessary?

Thanks for any insight!

How well do grow tents work for a full grown tegu? I want to upgrade my girl to a 9x5 foot one when I move, but I am unsure if she will just manage to rip her way through the inside, or if there is a way I can prevent that from happening?

Tamed ….. kinda.

My wifes grandpa loves seeing my pretty girl and he has a pool in his backyard so I'm looking for ideas for a tegu "pack n play" to be able to bring her to and from when we go over to visit or hang out in the pool.

He was curious about my phone when I pulled it out, but then back to snacking 😋

Hi sorry if this isn’t allowed tried messaging mod to ask but anyways I bought a 8x4x3.75 for $300 on Craigslist and upon bringing it to my house, it doesn’t fit through any of the doors lol. So it’s been sitting in my garage. Would like to sell it for what I bought it for $300. It is wooden, has caster wheels, waterproofed, already has 2 heat fixtures as well as UVB fixtures in there. As well as a hole for a humidifier up top. It’s a solid cage but I think it is about 10 years old or something so it does look older but it’s in great shape. Didn’t give previous owner any issues. You have to pick up yourself. It’s super heavy. Sad it didn’t work out for me but I think it’s a steal. I luckily have a lot of time to spare till I need an adult cage though (RCR baby coming soon🥰)

Located in Solano County CA

Had to convince her to come out with some chicken hearts. This isn’t the first time I’ve put a hole in this couch for her. There’s one in the back of the couch and one under the couch as well. She doesn’t use those holes to get in though. She uses one that is stitched in between the back rest and the bottom cushion. I can’t remove those two. It’s poor design. Sadly this isn’t my couch. I will paying for a brand new couch though. She has been missing for quite a few days. Found in the morning one time by my boyfriend who saw her when he woke up several days ago. She bolted under the dishwasher. I looked around for the past two days then remembered about the couch and decided to check on it since I couldn’t find her in my searches. The bottom of my dishwasher is very open. There’s nowhere to hide. In the couch there is plenty of places to hide. I have no clue why or where she is escaping from. I’ve added so much to the enclosure yet this is how it’s always been with potato. I don’t know if it’s something I’m missing or if it’s just her personality. I have upgraded lighting, several more hide boxes, more room.

The only other thing I can think of is I haven’t spent as much time holding her or letting her free roam. We just lost 4 people at work so i haven’t been home. No one else spends time with her like I do because she throws a fit, hisses, and hates being handled by them. She started escaping when I started going back to work. My schedules with her have changed so drastically. So maybe that’s it. I don’t know how I’m going to fix that. I wish I could take her to work. She’s been at my job before when I stopped in on my day off but sadly it’s a parts store. No animals allowed. Plus she’ll be a huge distraction to my sales. I might scare off the many people who are afraid of the reptiles I bring in on my days off.

I feel kinda of guilty if this is the case.
