hello again every one and thanks for your help! ive decided im gonna go with a tegu instead of a monitor now to name my tegu... ive had herd of alot of names but none that i like :roll: can you guys/girls help me out a little bit? thanks and one more thing... how do you potty train a tegu? can some one please help me with that to? thanks for your help in advance
the name i cant really help you with. but the key to "potty training" is routine. i started with my kitchen because it is old crappy linoleum. he would go every day after his dinner. one day he even climbed out of his tank and walked from my bedroom to the kitchn to go lol. I am going to start working with a rubbermaid bathroom. after each meal i will soak him in a rubbermaid full of warm water. (this usually releases the bowels) after a week or two of that i will slowly phase out the water and just leave the rubbermaid out, and place him in it at his usual time. eventually he will learn that this is the place to go... P.S. Never underestimate the intelligence of a tegu, i have never seen a reptile as smart as them. If your cage does not have a lock on the outside you can almost bet they will escape eventually. I actually watched my male try to open his door the other day. he investigated it for ever, at one point he was standing on his back legs with his belly on the glass, trying to find a way to open it. it was cool. but then i let him out
I have only had one tegu and his name was spaz. I do use some okay names for my monitors though. heres a small list rex, drako (means dragon), gator, helios (sun god), Zeus, Dino, jaws, etc. There are cool names in Greek and Roman mythologhy for the gods and beast. Have fun with your tegu Dustin
yeah sorry but he is a she so i dont think thos names will work i was gonna go with draco if it was a male but i got a female thanks anyway
Hmmm in that case I can use names that I use for my green anacondas Precious, Jasmine, Hope, Angel, Aphrodite, Athena, Jewel, Venus
