    Next step!

    Makes sense. I'll switch it up, maybe feed him before hand if it's early n what not.

    Ok. So I know what I'm doing tomorrow :-) do you have more success before or after feeding? I know to switch it up, just curious.

    Great tips. I tried the bathtub once but he did not like it. I figured the cold of the ceramic would make him want to spend time on me, but all he did was curl up in a corner and flinch every time I moved. Maybe I'll try again, and also try to have him on/with me on a rocking chair or my bed...

    Makes tonnes of sense. I was more worried if him freaking out and scurrying off. How did you get yours clingy? Just holding him longer?

    Ya i guess i should hold him longer now that he's getting better. It's just that he's still somewhat small and don't want him to take off n hide somewhere lol. He's approximately 14-18". He only cares about me when he's hungry, and doesn't want anything to do with me after he eats lol. I guess i...

    Hey guys, So there has been much progress with my baby gu! I can pick him up and gold him it out the cage with no issue.

    New baby

    But he's still small and if I take him out, I'm sure he'll just jump away and take off. Are you saying to go against his will and just hold him to prevent this? Kind of make him submit??

    New baby

    I would like to stop cage feeding and start bin feeding, but I don't want to force myself on him. He still tries to stay off my hand. Sometimes jumps off to the other end of the enclosure.

    New baby

    Hey guys, I recently got a baby argie 3 weeks ago. Now my other gu had interest in me from day 2. But my new guy, not so much. I'm stuck on when to really start handling him. I read hands-off works well, but can take months. And also read bin feeding (i do tong feedind for now ) is also a...

    Regurgitation??

    Hey. Just seen this. I'm using a laser temp gun. Basking spot has a gradient of 95 degrees at coldest spot and 115 st the hottest. I'm thinking it was just stress mixed with over eating. He hasn't done it again and is eating like a champ! :-)

    Regurgitation??

    Hey everyone, I recently purchased a new baby argentine tegu this week. This morning I found what looked like undigested food in his enclosure. I hope that it was just caused from stress or he ate too much. Is it some what normal?
