Redecorated Red Tegu Enclosure

[Little Wise Owl]

Lucy's crib was in desperate need of a redecorating. Bought some cypress mulch and moss and went at it.

This was the result:

Very nice. Looks like she's enjoying it :)

[Little Wise Owl]

I expect it to be destroyed in the morning. lol

[exwizard]

I like the results. Very nice looking. :)

[CDN_Blood]

It looks very comfy indeed. How long did it *stay* looking like that? LOL :)

[Little Wise Owl]

Well, I walked into my room this morning after my nap and she was digging with a vengeance behind her water dish... She stopped and looked at me like "GO AWAY" and resumed digging once I walked away. lol

[alessia55]

Can you post a photo of her? I can only see the tail in the pictures you posted and I'm curious :)

[Little Wise Owl]

Here she is making her quick escape. She looks so wrinkly because she was huffing and exhaling heavily. She hates me, haha.

Thanks! I love the look of those sorts of lizards.. so pre-historic looking :yes: What does she eat?

[Little Wise Owl]

Very little! lol

So far I've gotten her to eat ground veal, pinkie mice, canned sardines (in water), ground turkey mixed with collards and papaya, beef heart and liver all laced with egg yolk because that's the only thing she'll readily eat. She also gets a calcium supplement (obviously) and a multivitamin supplement with her food.

[Little Wise Owl]

Today she surprisingly ate 3 pinky mice and the butt-end and leg of a thawed chick.

Here's some after-meal photos:

The design looks nice, but is that a heat rock?

[Little Wise Owl]

It's actually a hide cave but I wanted it as a basking rock so I buried it. lol

It's only a matter of time until she figures out she can dig under and into it.

[jarich]

Ah, gotcha. Phew! I didnt want to assume, but was worried when I saw the power cable behind it.

[Little Wise Owl]

The two cords seen are the same one coming from the basking lamp :)
