I just got a chilean dwarf tegu and he sneeze/snorts at me when I put him down. Does anyone else have their tegu do that? Also, what humid do you keep for you tegus? Right now he is at 60% and I was wondering if that was good. I can find everything but humid level on them. I guessed based on country of origin and little statements I found here and there. Thanks guys.

My tegu will sit there snorting and 'puffing' at me if I'm working even around her cage. She'll do it more vehemently if I pick her up. I think its just their way of telling you "Hey, I'm here, I'm mean, watch it." Or who knows, maybe its a way of smelling - drawing more air into their nose to tell if something is food or a threat.

Humidity levels for tegus should be pretty high or they will have bad sheds. I have a big water bin that mine can get into, as well - I mist her down every couple days. I don't actually keep track of the humidity in her cage, but her last shed was in big pieces, so it must be pretty good.

The latest Reptiles magazine has a nice writeup on tegus, might be worth getting ahold of the issue. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

they do that basically to try to ward you off. they think if they make as much noise and blow themselves up, throw tail around, then you will go away. do not let him get away with it. go ahead and pick him up. make sure he knows that you are the boss!!!!! by the way juggalo have i told you that you r nutz!!!!!!!!!!
