  • This is part one of my two part care video. I tried to shorten it as much as possible. This should be pretty helpful BUT never let one source be the only source that you rely on as far as information. You are encouraged to seek other sources and I'll post other care guides, videos, websites down below. The video is broken up into different parts so I will post times that correspond with certain topics so you can skip if you like. [Please Read More]

    In all seriousness though, I really enjoyed your video about Argentine Tegus. I'd say it was the best one I've seen, very informative, good voice and the video quality was nice and focused. I really enjoyed it and for some reason, when you were going on the diet I was thinking that maybe I should re-view both of my dragons green diet.
    Hopefully I can own one of these some day. They really are wonderful lizards
    Good job man! :)

    some tegus get spooked when they're taken to high from the ground. Try keeping him low to the ground then slowly work your way up. Some never get used to it.

    Good video, you covered a lot of great info, well said. Nice looking Tegu, you picked a good one. Enjoy.
    I have too many years with snakes, it's time for me to switch sides for the next decade or 3, some Tegus, and maybe some Gilas for me soon, but I'll have to relocate due to the Gilas. Once a "herper" always a "herper" !

    If you forcefully yank them from the substrate yes. Depends on how old they are and your specific relationship to the lizard. All of these "rules" are not simply black and white there are gray areas

  • @Repidemic
    @Repidemic  11 лет назад

    I would love to but I'd honestly have to deconstruct and reconstruct one to show exactly how to build it. I'll see what ideas pop up though.

    Honestly I normally buy a lot of superworms and keep them which costs about 30 bucks and it can last for a month or so. Factor fruit and raw meat here and there maybe 10-15 dollars. They can eat lots of what humans eat as far as ground beef/turkey/chicken/eggs/fruit so it shouldn't be so bad.

    I appreciate this video! Thanks for being so detailed. Its helping to aid my decision in deciding if this will be the right pet for me, what it takes to own a tegu.
    Me and my boyfriend currently have a chameleon and a blue tongue skink at our house, so looking to potentially take on another (our last) commitment.

    It sounds a a little warm but I'm not sure where you live; it's pretty hot in LA since summer is coming up so i'm guessing those temps will drop a bit after summer. Also you could try adding a little extra ventilation on that side or misting that side a bit more.

    I've seen most online for around 150 before shipping. I'm not sure of anyone selling them now but you can always google tegu classifieds or check craigslist if no breeders have them. Check teguterra

    @five_pho 11 лет назад

    Hey bro, I was hoping for some advice. I finished building my tegu cage, have the lighting & everything set up. My basking spot reaches to about 110 degrees which is good but the cool side is about 90-92 degrees during the day. I'm thinking it's a little too warm on that side or is that okay? if not. I don't really know how to make the cool side a little bit cooler. Much appreciated.

    Can attest to the stench of Bearded Dragon poo. My Beardie Drake used to have the most rancid smelling shits. He died a year or so ago =_( I've been looking a lot into what kind of reptile I want to adopt now, and Tegus are really starting to appeal to me.

    • @abbiegreen7905
      @abbiegreen7905 6 лет назад

    • @JohnDoe-dq7kn
      @JohnDoe-dq7kn 8 лет назад

      +Jacob Marcum he was asking for one it could live in for life, so a 4x2x2 is probably not a good option. You should probably build at least a 6x3x3 (preferably 8x4x4), but start the baby in a 40 gallon breeder, because for some reason when they start out in huge enclosures they can get stressed.

      Ravage Rezinick Underground Reptiles are one of the biggest Tegu Breeders. They dont have any in stock now, but around July I think eggs hatch

      Back water reptiles

    • @christopherkiss2678
      @christopherkiss2678 8 лет назад

      Jacob Marcum No, never buy any kind of reptile from Backwater Reptiles. They're known for sending dead animals, plus even though they say the sell cbs, it's been proven that they sell all wild caught animals.

  • @thedinotamergaming
    @thedinotamergaming 8 лет назад

    do you have eco earth brick or normal sack and if you have normal sack does it work the same way as the brick

    • @mynameisandy1690
      @mynameisandy1690 8 лет назад

      it really dosent matter theyre the same, but when u use the brick it is more moist when u apply it to the tank but u can simply spray the sack when its in the tank, but bricks last a lot longer and for my leopard geckos, and crested gecko, and my two tegus it works great and the three brick combo for all these last about half a year and if I'm lucky up to a year, a sack will fill a fourty gallon easily a brick will last a fourty gallon atleast 5-8 cleanings

    • @mynameisandy1690
      @mynameisandy1690 8 лет назад

      you can also make it last even longer if u just spot clean poop from the substrate

    • @mynameisandy1690
      @mynameisandy1690 8 лет назад

      and when u use it for tegus especially its good to mix with something else like Cyprus mulch to help the humidity stay down a small bit because pure eco earth can keep a tank humid easily and with Cyprus mulch it imitates the area from argentine

    • @thedinotamergaming
      @thedinotamergaming 8 лет назад

      Kid1523Plays! ok thanks! :) but when you say mix it do you mean one layer eco and one layer cyprus mulch or do you simply mean blend them together? :)

    • @mynameisandy1690
      @mynameisandy1690 8 лет назад

      I mean blend, plus it makes it look cool too XD if you have any more questions feel free to ask
