Hellor. I was handling my girlie today and it ended up in a bite and I am trying to take it as a learning opportunity - what do you think of the following situation?

My adult BCI has always been the greatest sweetheart, although timid and preffering being in her terrarium (she even returns there on her own if outside).

When I handle her, I usually do so in front of the enclosure, sitting; so that she may leave the situation if she felt like it (which she usually does, always doing so calmly with no aggression).

Today I tried walking around the flat with her being around my neck, going about my chores. Abt 10 minutes in I reached for a plate to wash and she gave me a good nibble in the reaching arm, following which I let her go home and chill.

My assumption is, that since I was moving around she could not just slither away, which stressed her, which is why she bit (she did not coil, neither was it the lazy "what is this" bite)

Your opinions?

Hello! I am from czechia and I would like to get one from these amazing "little" critters- anyone here, who is either from czechia, or somewhere nearby (~5 hours from the border) who is breeding them?

THANKS

I am passionate as far as reptiles go and aside my BCI I would like to get a tegu (in a span of a couple years at the soonest). However my flat is pretty small and thinking of setups in that limited space is quite tricky (basically 1+kitchen+bathroom).

Wanted to ask yall for an opinion- I have a small carpetet room with a terrarium, in which an adult tegu could fit but definetly not live full time

What I am asking is, whether or not would a tegu be doing well if I made the terrarium into a basking spot which would be accessible to them and lizard-proofed the room so that they could basically occupy the whole room

Would it be too dry?

Would the lizard be too destructive?

Thanks for answers!
