I have 8 left, now 5 weeks old. Most are nice & chunky. There is one that is weak so I'll be surprised if he makes it. Sadly lost dad today for unknown reasons, gutted. Hoping mum retained sperm for another clutch, so fingers crossed

Hi :) My jacksonii jacksonii female (cb) gave birth to 14 babies 5 days ago & I just have a few questions if anyone can help? 11 have survived but there is one with a protruding eye that I'm worried about, seems quite weak and dark in colour- any thoughts? How often should I dust their...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male oustalets, nearly 2. In my care for 16 months. Handling - Only to administer meds, force feed or shower. Which is unfortunately fairly frequent are the moment. He does not like to be handled. Feeding - Riker would typically eat 6...

This is Milo, 1 of 3 mellers my local reptile shop got in (wc import). I was very lucky to get him, the females left as soon as they came in. He's gorgeous, very chilled out. He has a few battle wounds, but nothing a bit iodine won't fix. Waiting for his shower Beautiful tail Having...

aw lovely :D I just bought a pair of these cuties

The attached pics were taken early July, I'm not sure if this was the peak of his size but he was over 500g. This was taken today This is his sister who is gravid (infertile clutch) & currently 295g. They are the same age

He peaked at 590g, so I hope you're right. The vet didn't seem concerned about his weight to be honest - he didn't even weigh him at the last consultation. It's just weird to have him refuse food! but I went through the same with Neelix and Alfie...maybe I should look at it the same way- chams...

Riker, my male oustalets is on hunger-strike & for some bizarre reason his head is nearly always black and white where the rest of him is brown. He has also lost weight. I've also had to help him with removing sperm deposits from his vent. His background can be found here...

He's a little horror at the moment, the skunk adolescence has hit him hard early and hard! Still my baby though :)

I try to get her to exercise but she just finds places to sleep lol

Riker went back to the vets today as he still refuses to eat. I've tried opening his mouth and putting feeders in but he just spits them out. The vet said his general condition is good but decided to take bloods. He tested some while we were there, as he wanted check his electrolyte levels...

tell me about it! she can't even claim to be big-boned, she's just plain fat lol I'll get some weight off her though, I want to enjoy as many years with her as possible.

Lol love that, 'happily fluffy'. The vet wasn't too suprised, apparently captive tegus are generally fluffy lol she's a beauty, I hope she gets to like hanging out with us

Thanks :D She's so funny. If she's scared or nervous she just huffs & closes her eyes- she's convinced if she can't see me, I'm not there. She's got easier to handle the past few days, at first she kept whipping me with her tail & she is stong!

This is my newest addition, Petal the black and white tegu. She's about 5 years old. I purchased her from my local reptile shop who took her on as a rescue. She was very shy the first couple of days & a little dehydrated when we got her home, but she's soon learned to like her new 7ft viv (the...
