    Afraid of everyone but me and training for walks outside

    How does everyone get their tegus used to others like family members? Or get them used to walks outside? Is it kinda like keep repeating the experience till they become accustomed to it?

    Calming Scared tegu after outside adventure

    So I just took my b&w tegu out for a little walk in the of my house. When we started to head in I must've done something and he gave me this look and tried to bolt(he has a leash and harness on) so I try to escort him while he's thrashing about and he managed to bite my leg. Anyways now I got...

    Tegus and the "falling sensation"

    I'm sure everyone has that moment between consciousness and sleep where you get the feeling your falling and you jolt yourself awake. So I was wondering if tegus do the same.

    Free roam

    I've read they need that too. I just am concerned cause he's already broken out and knows he can again.

    Free roam

    He already free roams my room when I'm at home. And I've gone out for long periods of time without issues from him.

    substrate in nose or injury from shedding?

    I apologize for the bad picture but this has been on my tegus nose for a couple of days(since Tuesday) now. He just started his second shed (around Sunday) and I want to assume it's an injury from scraping or its substrate that got into his nose (zoomed Eco earth coco husk(really beginning to...

    Tegu is very skittish only when held. (and any sudden movements he does causes me to flinch)

    well he seems to be used to hands cause he has no problems walking on my hands if they are stationary. i tried another trick i saw a tegu owner did on youtube by picking him up with substrate under him. he seemed perfectly alright with that. then i just handwalked him in his tank for approx. 10...

    Tegu is very skittish only when held. (and any sudden movements he does causes me to flinch)

    hey all. During the Reptile expo in San Diego last Saturday i bought a really awesome tegu. Hes very calm, inquisitive and always up to mischief. I don't know his age but he looks like he's about to reach two feet in length. He has never tried to bite me. Mostly lashing and huffing and puffing...
