When they are that young, you keep them cool and no basking light. The UVB light is fine for a 20" tall cage. Supplement looks fine if you are not giving it every feeding. LoD might be once a week for a baby. What are your temps?

Not sure about a staple, but yea i use them for very crunchy snacks. In fact it was his favorite, he actually moved to get them vs just being a tongue turret.

Looks like a cricket nom nom'd. Its not poofy or anything. Odds are when its healed its going to be pinkish like a piebald.

We dont have roaches, we have "beetles". But but they look like THEY ARE BEETLES I TELL YEA

I was wondering what was going to happen over the last few weeks with 10 degree higher than normal temps and zero rain. Even the tegu will not stay outside in the sun for more than 45min, and normally he sun baths for hours.

At almost 4 months i dont even know how you bought him, most breeders dont sell that early. So yes i would keep feeding daily. Maybe at 7 months you could hold off for every 2 days for a week or two.

water source "is it stuck" checks" You could make the sitters life easier if you have 7 dixy cups of crickets pre made. Just throw in some quarter inch cubed carrots or potatoes for food/moisture. We dont really care about gutload etc, just "is it still eating?".

As the owner of an ever living cockatiel (its 22 years old), i can say chameleons and small lizards(beardies) HATE IT. You get instant poofs from across the room even if the bird is minding its own business.

Tegu sploots on the hot pavement, so i guess its a reverse sploot. Pavement is so hot he does the "anole" and lifts up his feeties and tail because its too hot.

I stand by my test. Put Mr worm in a bowl with a wee bit of water, talking just enough for surface tension or half a body thickness, see how long it lasts "unchewed".

How do they not fart themselves to death? Do you have a fan on top to displace the ammonia from the poo?

There is blue, and there is BLUE

Its hard to get the same angle.

Shredded lettuce coated in chow?

Uh mulch= chopped up mulberry leaves. Its not real mulch. Hmm. i wonder if you could just use normal (maple?) leaves with chow on them vs chow on a paper towel?

Good luck, they are picky bastards. They will not eat leaves that were frozen months ago. they wont even eat the leaves from the fallen branches from a storm that are only a few days old. Id say after about 48 hours them leaves are no good. I just happen to have a bush outside of work.

Nope. the tub gets cleaned once per batch. So ill have weeks worth of "leaf litter" might be 6" thick at the bottom before the worms start cocooning. leaves go in, worms come out. Once you start "cleaning" etc is when they start catching colds and dying off.

I have only used leaves. I get a tub with an open top i mulch the leaves using a cheap food processor i place hatched worms on mulch i do this once a day till worms are in their final instar and turn white after that its just a handful of leaves per day Once they are good eating size i limit...

" i need to open his mouth and check for mouth rot" Not going to be a problem.... When i took the frilly to the vet we had to borrow a snake from the next bay over to get him to frill for the doc.
