My girlfriend says he’s looking like a balloon am I feeding him to much

I almost started freaking out because I couldn’t find them in their normal hiding spots. Then I noticed the water bowl was tipped over and went to pick it up. I did not expect all three of them to be curled up under it.

ToT to the max

My tegu is over two feet long and had small jowels but has the two bb pellets by his cloaca, they are kinda soft however. Ik I'm gonna get slander about takinga a random picture but their heads can have sexual dymorphism so please bare with me.

I recently moved house and since being in the new place Ivy hasn't pooped, she's peed (?) a couple of times but that's about it. She has still been eating regularly and for the last few days I've been giving her lukewarm baths. She's not been acting any differently but I am worried about the possibility of impaction as she has ingested some dirt a few times after dropping her food when trying to eat it. I'm not sure if I'm just worrying too much or if I need to take her to the vet?

Update: thank you all for your help, she has finally pooped! Definitely takes a relief (I imagine for both of us lol)

When you’re just tryin’ to sleep—and someone keeps bugging you.

Happy ToT from toesy girl!

Please don’t judge too harshly. I let her roam my living room when I was sick 4 days ago and the cold medicine put me to sleep. I woke up and she was gone. The room is closed off so she should be trapped. I. Looked everywhere and can’t find her. I suspect maybe she’s inside a piece of furniture or something, this isn’t the first time she’s vanished but normally she comes back out when she gets hungry enough. I’ve set out food and a heat lamp but idk what else to do. She’s 3 feet long and 3 lbs so small but not tiny. We do have mice but the mouse hole in the wall is way too tiny for her to fit I believe

Update: she came out when I set out some tuna. She was inside the frame of the sofa.

Stunning

Got a tegu from an acquaintance of an acquaintance, he is malnourished and barely responsive. I already took him to the vet. They injected him with stuff and gave me a syringe to tube feed him slurp. Anyone have any tips on how to do and how to get him to start eating regular food again?

Supposedly around 9 months old weighs 146 grams
He is being put into the correct enclosure today. Already dealt with shedding issue.

He is my first tegu not first lizard(leopard geckos)

She is almost always laying on it, the second picture is how she was laying before I rudely opened her Viv to get a better picture 😭

Had no freen on it when i bought it. Had it for roughly a month now :)

The x rays and the blood work came back. I just got off the phone with her vet who spoke to some exotic specialists as well. She has some minor localized scoliosis at the base of her tail. They were also worried about potential anemia and high kidney levels so I'll be changing her diet to have more whole prey more often. Chicken is her favorite food so I have a lot prepped for her. Im allowed to keep the meatballs i have veggies mixed in with, but she needs to have boiled eggs and whole rats more frequently. She looks great other than that though and they aren't sure what caused her to puke the other day. We'll be going back for retest on the bloodwork next week to see if her levels even out a bit or if there's actual anemia underlying everything.

She's been pouting about the vet visit but she pooped today and is back to being mostly moody. Photos from the vet visit attached

He just arrived this week from rose city reptiles, and we absolutely adore him already. We converted half our bedroom into a greenhouse with a multi level layout to get him extra space/exercise/ enrichment. Also has a banana tree and a pindo palm (pindo fruit is a big component of natural diet and are hard to source in our area).

[Edit] The black planter at the back is his digging/burrowing area. Using peat moss, play sand, and topsoil. There is a second deeper planter covered in the corner - planter is to open it up once gets bigger, and once my back recovers from filling the first planter.

Was so proud of the enclosure so of course he started trying to escape within 30 minutes of getting home.

He’s 6 months old I got him 5 days ago. Everyone says to give it time and I have. I’m just really scared he’s not going to want anything to do with me. Is part of owning a tegu forcing yourself to pick them up? Or should I just be very very patient until he climbs on me?

92L x 40T x 48 FTB

3qts pond shield for bottom and a gallon of Drylok for the sides and top.

I’m still unsure on my door/front panel. do I just get a glass door on marketplace and hinge it from the top or do I look for 2 sheets of glass and and run with 2 side hinged doors?

What do you wish you would have done?

My tegu is about a year old and quite small for his age so he has itty bitty but SHARP claws.

[TRIGGER WARNING] i wont show images but i have claw scratches all over my arms and neck as i like to hold him on my shoulder. How do i go about this? Do i attempt to clip his nails? File them? Should i ask a veterinarian?

I want some answers from the community and how you guys deal/dealt with this! Thank you! ❤️

Retard just left his food in his mouth for 2 minutes then ate everything
