Wasn’t expecting it today but I am VERY happy. Articulation was better than I thought but I don’t like the looseness on the 2000Goji. Also they are BIG. Still very glad I got both figures.
Stop motion is harder than I thought lol. Props to anyone who makes stop motion look good.
I used to have a bunch of Neca Godzillas when I was a kid but stopped collecting. I don’t want to get back into collecting but I want to make diorama displays of scenes from my favorite Godzilla movies and this is one of my favorite Godzilla designs and movie. Is this one good or should I get a different one for my display?
I’ve been testing different foods to see what Goose likes and he loves dubias, quail eggs and blueberries but hasn’t touched any banana or strawberries I’ve presented to him. Which is totally fine since they need more protein as babies. Any other small foods I should try and see if he likes? I have greens and lots of ground meats but I thought I should wait on any ground meats till he’s grown.
I’m legitimately in love right now. This has been a dream reptile of mine since I was a little kid. I never would have thought I would eventually have one of these gorgeous Tegus. I was shaking like a leaf when I was unboxing him or her🤣. Also I decided on the name Goose!🙌
I took Gus to the vet to see what was wrong with him cause he was acting strange and sleeping ALOT. I was concerned cause this is literally my adopted child and I took him in to get checked out. Turns out he had a huge meal and was just trying to digest. Question is, what big meal did he have? I control all his feeding and I never overfed him. I have no clue where he would have eaten so much. Dubia stash in his enclosure? This photo is old I just thought it was funny.
If anyone has any idea on what I should add please let me know🧡. I have tons of branches and hides if I should add more.
I just bought a baby tegu and they will be arriving Thursday! I’ve kept reptiles since I was 5 years old and now that I’m 21 and making enough money to comfortably support a tegu I decided to take the leap. I have a current 4x2x2 right now but will immediately start working on building the 8x4. I have done research on tegus for years knowing full well I couldn’t get one, but now I know I’m ready. I already have an overflowing dubia colony but I want to make my tegus enclosure bioactive so if anyone recommends places to get springtails and isopods lmk.
I’m deciding on getting a tegu or another monitor but I was hoping if I can see some people’s tegu enclosures for inspo.
I’ve noticed that Gus is showing some strange behavior right now and was wondering if I should take him to the vet. He has been going to sleep earlier every night and I’m starting to not see him when I come home from work. As well as sleeping out in the open. Yesterday he was sleeping in an odd position on the left side of his enclosure so I added a burrow hide in that spot and now he moved to the other side to sleep out in the open. Is this means to take him to the vet? I am probably going to take him this Friday anyway but I’m just worried.
I’m deciding between getting a Savannah or a flavirufus atm but I don’t plan to get one for a year cause I want to have EVERYTHING ready. How much do they eat? Should you brumate them? How big should my dubia colony be to support one of them. Relative FG enclosure size? What are there daily activities? Sorry for all the questions but all the YouTube videos I watch don’t answer some of these questions and if they do it seems outdated. Even some of the Ackie care videos I watched didn’t help all that much with me and I had to learn on my own and from this subs help, like that I am supposed to mist the soil every once in a while so when they dig it hold the burrow and the daily activities like how they bask for a few hours and dig and explore for a few hours and go back to basking then digging. Sorry if I’m rambling I just was wondering what it’s like keeping them.
In all seriousness I have no clue why he bit me. He has never bitten me hard before and it was only to see if I was food but never hard. I’m not sure what I did wrong and if anyone has any tips or suggestions on what I did wrong please let me know. Gus had been sitting by the glass watching me for the past hour so I went to let him out and he lunged out and latched onto my finger and only gave one quick hard bite. After I put him back in his enclosure he acted like nothing happened and chilled on his rock and was acting super normal. Was this a defensive bite or a food bite? He hasn’t been defensive since I first got him. I worry I scared him but I always get down to his level before handling. I’m not an expert but I know there are experts on here that can help thank you.
I try not to encourage biting from him but I can’t help but find it funny when he smells steak, eggs, or brats. He really is the sweetest and I love Gus as if he were a really small scaly dog.
Right now I have my Ackie Gus but in the far future when I’m making more with my job and have more space in my home I want to get one more monitor lizard but idk what I would get. Obviously I have a lot of time to think and plan but I was wondering what any of yall would recommend. I’d prefer a dryer climate monitor that can handle California Heat and possibly have a huge outdoor enclosure that is properly secured obv along with a gorgeous indoor environment during cold months. I struggle to keep up with humid loving reptiles since I work so much I can only spray once a day and have had issues with misters and foggers. Also not a Savannah even though I love them but my dubia colony barely survives my Ackie.
I’ve searched a lot of places and cannot find these oil filters. Everything I order is the wrong size so I was wondering if anyone knew a website I could find one or if I’m an idiot. In the picture the correct one is on top and the wrong one I ordered is on the bottom.
I’ve always loved Mosasaurs when I was a kid and it has influenced my hobbies like keeping reptiles. I now have a monitor Lizard named Gus that I keep a mosasaur display next to.
Usually when I check up on the dairy cows I let Gus have one or two but this time he just wanted to look at like his own collection.
I swear Gus chooses the hardest path to get up just to see if he can😭
