★About Professor Herp★
I started getting into the reptile hobby in February of 2018. My first reptile was my Bearded Dragon - Maxine Pegasus (creator of duel monsters btw). Since then, I have added five Yellow Ackie Monitors (Asus, Dell, LG, and two unnamed babies), a Chacoan Black and White Tegu (Frappuccino), a Crested Gecko (Destin), and a Russian Tortoise (Tortellini). I also have a dog named Thrall (yes, from World of Warcraft) who is a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix - aka a Chiweenie.
My goal with this channel is to share my knowledge, experience and journey with other reptile/animal enthusiasts and become a better caretaker because of it. Hopefully I can learn a lot from the community through these videos.

Did you know?
My local Argentine tegu breeder has a male Argentine black and white Tegu and he is just like a cat. (Believe it or not tegus are more comparable to cats than dogs, but they are a class of their own.) Whenever she passes through his enclosure (8×4×3) his eyes light up, he tucks his head under her chin and nuzzles her neck, he looks at her when she talks to him, and honestly, he at least appears to appreciate the company/attention she gives. Hence why most people want tegus.
I knew this would come!
Yes my man another banger sick video full of information undrated is the onley word for u mate
Thanks Rocky!
Happy I could support the channel! I love your content. Can’t wait to order a tee or two later this week. -Houston
Thanks so much! Means a lot to me :)
Good job! Good information! Very informative! And yes, I am being positive! And supportive! Because no one is perfect. Yet you put yourself out there in a public forum! 👍👍👊
Thanks Herb! Appreciate the support
Just what the doctor ordered!
Good video also I got the merch and love it 😍
Thanks for getting the merch! If you are on any socials feel free to tag me in some pics of you wearing it!
Would a 6x3x3 work for a blue Tegu?
How much of that applies to a Gold Tegu? Also, you can keep them outside in Texas, at least the gulf coast area...check out "Rose City Reptiles" He breeds them and keeps them outside...he has some really cool enclosures
this was not aimed towards Gold Tegus. Joey and I have talked quite a bit!
I just want my guy to be big 😂
Same!😂
@@reptile_girls123y7 how big is your tegu now??
I know this was 6 months ago, but I have a 4 month old blue tegu. I see some Breeders want their tegus soaked in water weekly or even more often. Thoughts? Also, my tegu had bright yellow urates last time he pooped. I can’t find much about this. What could be the problem?
Sometimes yellow urates happen. As for bathing, I do not personally, but think there is no harm in doing so.
Could a tegu take a finger off?
Well Count Dooku, maybe depending on the age and size of the individual. They have quite powerful jaws. Nothing like your lightsaber though!
@@ProfessorHerp the only thing sharper then my lightsaber is my intelligence.
i keep mine at morning at 70% at 60% mid day then 80% in the afternoon and she is in the best condition ever
im going to be getting my first tegu next year and is the first year of brumation going to be hard
@@jdandkikisExotics no i think it is that were a bit worried for them the thing is just to get some information about it and then it is not as scary😉
@@jdandkikisExotics but if you need more info just add my discord timbo_torben#4205
Can you free roam
permanently? I would not. Temporarily? Sure!
Not being negative but didnt your tegu almost die due to poor husbandry?
No. And I would appreciate if you did not share incorrect information.
My Tegu had an infection in his mouth. Neither I nor the exotic vet know how he got the infection. Very well could be totally unrelated to husbandry. This infection led to other minor issues. He also has a calcium deficiency in the tip of his nose. We are unsure of how that occurred as well. A popular theory the vet has is the uvb bulb was deficient.
The exotic vet (various research experience with reptiles) did a house visit as well and gave minor husbandry tweaks. I wanted to ensure that the issue was not husbandry related, that is why I asked her to evaluate my husbandry. And maybe husbandry did cause an issue (no one can know), but I learned a lot from the experience and the experience made me a better keeper.
He is completely fine now and was no where near death. Just a little under the weather. Also, problems happen. Any reputable keeper/breeder has encountered issues and problems (husbandry and non-husbandry related). That is part of the hobby and learning. Also why I share my experiences to help others and be open about my care.
its all too easy for keepers to 'never have problems' i dont believe this, seen lots of experienced breeder video's sharing their experiences when things go wrong. Its great that prof herp is open n sharing his experience so others can learn!
jess-sweetheartt you really cant be a reptile keeper without a few mistakes that happen
Any reptile keeper has mistakes along the way and they correct them and learn.. his reptiles are very well cared for and what he’s saying is all true..
