Every once in a while, my Colombian seems to get agitated in his tank. He starts digging in the corners and rubbing his nose along the glass. I've heard I should black out 3/4 of the sides so he can tell he can't get out there. Is that a solution, or just a band-aid on a bigger problem?

Okay, thanks. I'll try to start letting him out to romp when he starts nose-rubbing his tank. By the way, a few minutes in the tub with warm water running seems to work for getting him to go to the bathroom, so that I can play with him/feed him/let him roam around afterward without worrying about accidents (: Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         theTegu.com Forum Index -> General Care All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1 Translate to English using Google Language Tools:   Jump to: Select a forum General Site Forums----------------Site NewsWelcomeFun & GamesSuggestion BoxBusiness Ratings & ReviewsMembers LoungeHelpful Information Tegu Forums----------------Normal DiscussionGeneral CareHealth IssuesTegu HousingClassifiedsBreeding & GeneticsShow & Tell (Picture Forum)Lights!
