Argentine Black & White Tegu Setup and Unboxing...Again [Repidemic]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- The tegu came in yesterday so here's the setup and unboxing video. I will be posting more videos soon. This little guy is less inclined to burrow, far more active and anxious to eat than the previous tegu so it will make for decent footage.
Thanks LLLreptile!
Forgot to mention they do have great sales very often and that's something else I love about them.
That's a sharp ruler...
el tigre thats wat iam saying 😂😂
I don't think that an extra dragon you didn't order is a "gift".
I would be so pissed
Thank you! It's rare to see a youtuber who listens and acts on a request from fans; who also not only does it on such short notice, but so quickly. Thank you for the reply! I look forward to the video. Have a nice day?
good to be prepared and already have him is a big enclosure. nice simple setup. pretty little guy
Wow that’s a real beautiful animal. Thanks again Ricky 💃🕺🏼🕺🏼🎶🐈⬛🎸💃💥
i know you didnt mean an extra animal specifically as the throw in item when you gave the example.. but the reason i think its not a good idea to include extra animals is because not everyone has room or time for more than one animal.. i think it might cause problems with some people to give them extra animals to care for.. although it would be awesome for people who would appreciate getting an extra animal!
***** i ordered a tegu from tegusonly and Rod actually asked me if i wanted an extra one for free..i said yes..cause i have the room and its not often i get such offers...and the tegus are very healthy and social..love being handled..and only costed me 150
+dracomancer01 how much does mr irwin sell his baby tegus???????
Aww that's really considerate and cool of you. I wish more reptile keepers had that mentality. They are amazing lizards. Intelligence wise these are probably one of the smartest you'll ever come across. I can't wait untill mine reaches a size where he/she can come outside with me on my shoulder.
No problem at all. I searched Reptile, Reptile Tank, Reptile Enclosure, Custom Reptile enclosure, wood reptile enclosure/tank you can try those to start.
I had two tegus at a time but the first tegu went to someone else. The enclosures I bought off of craigslist but I used to build them you can check online there are plenty of tutorials on how to make them. It was about $120 Thanks for all of the love!
i cant wait to get out of college and get one of these. ive wanted one since highschool
No I'm actually in the process of building a bigger one. Some say that a 6x3x3 is the bare minimum for a single adult male though bigger is always better. I'd try an 8x3x2 if possible but I think it depends on how much time the tegu will be spending in the enclosure. Some people let them roam the room all day so I think in that case it doesn't need to be incredibly large.
Open bags with scissors bro. Thanks again Ricky 💃💃🕺🏼🎶🎶🐈⬛💃🎸
I handled my beardie every day when it was a baby for a few hours.
If you bring up your bearded dragon with a lot of handling, it should want to come out of its vivarium. But it does depend on the dragons temperament.
to my knowledge, argentine black and white tegus are born greener than black/white. Some Tegus come from different areas of South America (Chacoans, Colombians, Paraguayan etc) so they can differ in appearance as well as other characteristics.
Lol I've seen these silly tegu vids as well and yes they can be clicker/target trained. I believe most larger reptiles (and maybe even smaller ones) can be trained. Like Toothless, she is trained to come out of the enclosure when she sees me bow over. I'm slowly generalizing that to just putting my hand on the outside. Tegus in my opinion are easy for a devoted caregiver it's just spaciously challenging.
:] I try to check every couple of days or so. Requests are more than appreciated
I’d be ticked off if got an extra animal in my shipment. Like I wouldn’t be prepared for it and maybe I didn’t have the room for it.
It kind of became natural after keeping her on my shoulder since she was a decent size and I knew she wouldn't jump. After being on my shirt/shoulder/arm enough she started to recognize it as a safe place to perch so when I start to put my shoulder there, she climbs up. Could be that she know she'll be getting sunlight as well :]
I was thinking about it. Possibly a Jungle Carpet but honestly I've always liked Rosy Boas and Corns
They are definitely strongly recommended
So awesome! I can't wait until I can get one.
It's cool I'm not mad. Thanks for explaining. It's 4x2x2 so it'll be good for maybe a year or more then i'lll build a bigger one. He only has that one black hide and an underground coconut hide but the stones serve as hides too because he burrows under them.
Hay repideic! First off i would like to acknowledge you impressive bag opening skills. No im kidding :). This is the first video i have seen of yours and i knew i would be subscribing by 2:09. Could i request a tegu care video from you? Mind you, i am not an idiot, i have done my research but it always help to see how it's REALLY done before attempting it myself. You seem to have such a passion for reptiles.
It would be nothing short of an honor if made a b&w tegu care video. Have a nice day!
the substrate looks like chili and chese
Or maybe wood mulch.
baby tegus are greenish but they grow out of it.
Hey bro another good substrate to add to hold a burrow is yeah the mulch you have and the eco earth but also a bag of top soil dirt.. all 3 make the perfect substrate, i use it for my monitor and he has a perfect burrow, doesnt collapse or anything..
great video.
The inclosur is really big for a baby tegu also it can potentially drown in the water bowl
Oo alright than thanks for the information and its a wry nice colour.
Hey man great vidoes there great to watch and learn. a bit confused though you have two tegus? or just one....where did you get your enclosure? and how much did it cost? im planning on getting one soon but i guess everyone is out of them so im needing some luck...really great videos i can see you really love your animals!
Tagus are awesome. They're as smart as cats. I had a couple of Colombians, brothers from two different clutches. I dumped some king worms into the sawdust once, disappointed when they didn't do anything. A month later I noticed the older one, Nidhoggr, poking his head into the sawdust, he then preceded to go on a meal worm massacre for the next half hour. I guess they matured and got bitey. Pissed him off.
Cats aren't that smart
Studies show dogs are the smartest "normal" pet
+Colin Lorbach but pigs are the smartest domestic animal..
+Colin Lorbach I had a cat who figured out how to disassemble the spray bottle I used to keep him off the kitchen counter, lined each bit up more or less in order from largest to smallest in front of the door, waited for me to get home and presented it to me.
Although Brootus is a bit on the gifted side compared to other cats, I think.
+Colin Lorbach And it really depends what breed of dog, some have stupid inbred into them. Mutts and especially dogs with coyote or wolf in their bloodline are often pretty damn smart.
Thanks!
ah, what a cutie you have!! Nice green color he has :)
I wish they stayed small I want ine but I'm not allowed to
at the moment yes but only until my buddy takes the other tegu.
that thing is going to get HUGE! hope you planned for that........
he has more than just that one that are waaaaay bigger... do some research before you comment something so you dont look ignorant
Pinky
How about you just inform me about something I may not know about instead of insulting me and making yourself look like a douche 😉
+Sha Lo K never insulted you, i just stated the fact at hand: youre ignorant
Pinky
Calling the kettle black?
*I, you're
You also don't know how how to use punctuation correctly.
Now, learn how to communicate with people. It might be in your best interest one day. You're still a douche.
MOVING ON FROM YOUR WORTHLESSNESS.........
4-5 feet isn't very big
Bro that is a sharp ass ruler
They come in a bag which has to be shipped in a box yes sir
thanks, an argentine black and white
That's sad I'm sorry to hear that. People ask me how I'm attached to my reptiles and they can't understand that someone could be said over the loss of a lizard/snake. Again I'm sorry to hear
How could it breathe in all of that packaging?
***** Oh good! It just seemed like it might have been hard for the animal to breathe in all of that. Thanks for clearing it up :D
+Reptilian Overlord aren't you a reptile?
Absolutely awesome vid. Perfect for anyone wanting a tegu. How long will this tank suffice a juvenile tegu?
thanks!
corn snakes are pretty too :)
Great vid. One of these days I'll be able to get one. :)
@Repidemic How big was your aquarium for the baby tegu? I want one, but wanna know how big the cage is before buying the baby. I know they get big. I have two Savannah monitors both 3ft long. Just trying to do research on it.
they need about the same size as the savannah they are pretty similar the tegu usually gets longer but savs are usually heavier
Adorable! Where did you get the cage?
Hey thank you for getting back to me so fast. under what did you search for the tanks?
they are :) but so flighty lol. Thank you
in a weak what do you need to feed a baby tegu and how much bug's do they need and can you give them meat when there baby's. also one more thing what variety of food did you offer your tegu when he was a baby and how many times did you give him bugs and other food in a week
Update? How's your baby these days?
Very awesome comment I really appreciate it; it was very thoughtful and thorough. I'm not sure about it being an honor :) but I will gladly make one if you think it will help you. I will try to have it up by the end of this week :]
I plan on getting a black and white Argentine tegu, but I want to wait till s/he will be the only one. So I can devote all my attention. I'm a doting mommy. :))
Nice knife 👍🏻
where did you get that tank? if you made it yourself please tell me the measurements and what all you used.
cypress is fine but you want to make sure you soak it in hot water to kill any parasites. I got it from lllreptile
Thanks for telling me .
thanks bro found one in walking distance from my house...and free ahah!...where do you get your bedding? ive heard cypress mulch is no good?
that's nice it looks like a green tegu more to me I got 3 tegus I got all 3 of them for 90 bucks
Right!
Where did you get the cage from?
What's the name of the brand of cypress mulch and where did you buy it.plz help
I've seen & read that they can be trained & are as smart as a dog (considering the dog of course). I seen a vid of a grown tegu rubbing his face into his eggs, he seemed to just being silly. I loved it. I heard they can be trained with a clicker to. I just need to not be so ocd like I am with the dragons, where in I hand feed. But that's my fault, they are more stubborn & lazy then I am. Dragons became a very crash course on becoming a reptile slave. If I can do this a tegu should be easy. Lol
Lol that's true they probably think to themselves "haha it worked again!"
i want to get an Argentine red tegu and im getting its tank from J worlds because they make very nice enclosures and its size is 8x2x2
Sweet tegu! i subbed!
will this size enclosure last even when hes an adult? Im planning on getting one and need enclosure ideas, thank you.
Thanks, I found them both on craigslist
Where did u get ur enclosures at I really like them I want some
The males can get up to 4 feet and females max out around 3-3.5
do at least 8 x 3 x3 because its gonna need at least 2 feet of mulch to dig in, and 3 feet of width to turn around and feel comfortable! But J worlds is an awesome choice dude!! :)
the zoo med powersun is both uva and uvb.
I used a 100W powersun bulb in the 4x2x2
i would recommend a bearded dragon for a first lizard but i could see the right person who's willing to do insane amounts of research getting a tegu for their first lizard. Research before making a decision and make sure you have the time/space/ money/patience
Hey you mentioned other websites that you use what are they?
make sure you do research. they are awesome pets
I see a lot of people use tanks like that, can you buy tanks like that or do you have to build it from scratch?
awesome vids! ive been watching a lot of tegu vids lately trying to figure out why my red tegu doesent want to eat his fruits.... ive tried mixing it with his regular food but he just moves the fruit aside. Got any tips?
the old "in~out"
How did you get your Beardie to want to come out and be with you?? Mine doesn't mind coming out at all, but never acts like he really wants to...
what website was that that people arder off of and they got a free dragon ????? im so ordering off them
It's still here currently shedding and growing in a separate 55 Gallon
bro please answer.
where can i buy one?
im so excited! i need one!
im from Mexico
Nice tegu dude what for kind is it ?
Dude you need to invest in a pocket knife; make opening bags and other stuff easier (lol). Love your baby's coloring.
Oh an I forgot too ask what wat do you need to heat a 8 foot tank is it just 100 wat or what.
Sorry so late. If your tegu is younger its probably not as likely to eat fruit yet but still offer fruit. Try different kinds of fruits but from what ive read keep away from avocado. I'd say mix some raw meat into a ball with fruit in it so he has to eat it.
:) thanks. He's not green anymore
Where did you get the enclosure from?
do tegus need uvb bulbs?
How big is this cage and will it last him all his life?
Kristof Mckenna You'll need a cage at least 8' X 3/4' for an adult fully grown tegu.
How big of a tank do you need when it is fully grown pls someone reply.
Jesus Christ that bang has a lot of growing to do
Other websites regarding what?
Beautiful animal
around 6 x 3 x 3 feet total
thanks!!
how big do they get?
Were did u get that enclosure?
Build it
yeah, he grew up to be a handsome lizard!
