    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Shipyourreptiles.com has a great video you can watch that shows you exactly what you need to do. :)
 
You will want to tie the end of the bag VERY tightly...that's a big strong lizard with many hours to try and scratch it's way out.You might even get a plastic sterilite container to put the bag in..you can put holes in the plastic if you do....then put a couple of strips of duct tape all the way around the middle of it.I'm just picturing a 3 foot tegu...very strong lizard.
 
I knot off the end and then double it over and zip tie. It isn't getting out of that unless it rips through the bag (pillow cases work, btw). I guess I should get a picture of what that looks like for that article...
