Hi all... Newbie to the forums

Hi all! Just wanted to drop a line and introduce myself. I am new to these forums so I am looking forward to getting to know a few of you. I currently have 3 bearded dragons (2 female.. one male), 1 Russian Tortoise (Female), and 1 rapidly growing B&W Tegu (Spot). I have had Spot since August of 2006 and am still working on some behaviour issues (like getting him in and out of his home ) Oh yeah... I also have 4 kids a wife, and 2 Oscars. Love them all!!!

Peace,
Tim

One of my tegu's had "issues" when I got her out of her cage. Now, she's great about it, so good luck on working on yours.

Yeah... he is ok once I get him out. I think he just feels off-balance and tries to grab on to something. I just wish his claws weren't so darn sharp!!

Peace,
Tim

You can trim the nails, but you can only nip the very end of them. This should be enough to take off the sharp edges.

Thanks for the advice. I had heard that you could do that, but I was a little leary to do it myself. I have put some slate tile under his substrate so I was kind of hoping that he would dig down and wear the tips down. Although, tonight when I took him out of his cage and put him back in, he was very calm and did not wiggle at all. WOOOHOOOO!!!!

Sounds awesome, looks like he is going to calm down nicely.
