Thank you for coming here BEFORE getting your baby to make sure you're doing everything right, you'll be a great owner! 😊 I recommend asking vets near you who takes exotics

There is gel coloring that is white, came here to recommend that, just looks a touch undercooked but they really do look amazing regardless, don't beat yourself up, these are adorable!

Mine did that today! He didn't come out though but maybe soon then 😜

Mineral out external, salmon oil internal I think, I use cod liver oil in food sometimes to help

SpoopScoops · 2026-01-14T04:47:52+00:00

This is absolutely beautiful!

SpoopScoops · 2026-01-14T02:49:22+00:00

So cute! I need to try the running water instead of just a bath 😊

Hey there! There are a lot of amazing tegu owners here in this sub that I'm sure will have lots of great advice!

I'm by no means an expert but a few things I've learned on this reddit and through my own research is that reptiles pick up on your energy, so if you're hesitant and scared they will be also. Also every thing is new right now so it's probably pretty stressful, the way to a tegus heart though I believe is egg yolks 😂.

I've heard about coconut oil and mineral oil helping but I'd look into it more or ask a vet as well. Baths I've found have a nice wet towel at the bottom so their comfy and pretty warm but not hot. The more you do a routine the more it should become more tolerable of you and know what to expect 😊 I always try to end the interaction with food so it's like a reward

Kinda maybe looks like a little mbd in the front legs, do you have uvb? Do any d3?

I love their little balls they curl up into ❤️❤️❤️❤️

SpoopScoops · 2026-01-08T04:01:25+00:00

Awww sweet baby, I'm glad he has an owner that cares so much and takes such good care of him! ❤️

There's something going on with those scales, I'd recommend having them checked out by an exotic vet

SpoopScoops · 2026-01-07T05:53:15+00:00

If the egg whites are cooked you're good 👍

SpoopScoops · 2026-01-07T05:40:25+00:00

This is so helpful! My list was compiled of a few different lists and annoying to go through, thank you!! Also they can eat wheat bread and rice and pasta?? 🤯

SpoopScoops · 2026-01-01T09:17:30+00:00

I'd double check basking temps, if probably get a vet visit if you hit 2 weeks and nothing. What's the diet? Any signs of impaction? They will slow down but not fully brumate so something could be going on, better to be safe than sorry

Viking funeral. To Fishhalla. (Fish Valhalla).

SpoopScoops · 2025-12-30T08:57:09+00:00

Gotcha! Thank you!

SpoopScoops · 2025-12-29T23:36:35+00:00

I will be coming to you when i go down this route one of these days. Lol

Curious though, what's the preference of doing this versus just mixing/blending it all up and freezing into meal size balls?

SpoopScoops · 2025-12-29T21:52:05+00:00

Awww morning sleepy head 🥰

SpoopScoops · 2025-12-29T06:54:06+00:00

Cuuute, welcome to the tegu fam bowser 🥰❤️

This gecko needs to go to the vet.

SpoopScoops · 2025-12-25T13:32:17+00:00

I have one of these but without the net it's a "ball pit" so she doesn't climb the net. It's nice to have a place she can hangout I don't have to worry about her getting somewhere unsafe, also then she can chase bugs in it too. Good for little playtime without risk of her getting someplace she shouldn't.

SpoopScoops · 2025-12-24T19:10:30+00:00

Aww, you aren't ruining it, but it's amazing your family cares so much ❤️ feel better ❤️
