    Rhino iguana/tegu owners and bite experiences

    I have not been bitten by my tegu yet. She has never tried. Bites from tegus are a rare thing once they are adults. I doubt you could tell a difference between the two as far as pain from a bite. Cant really go wrong with a tegu

    I wouldnt worry about it for another day or 2. It takes a little longer for them to digest mice and rats so she may not be hungry.

    Meet Marty!

    Best advice for taming is to sspend time with him. Hold him some every day. Get a pillow case and let him curl up in it at night and set it on you and pet him some. He will eventually get comfortable with you. Develop a routine schedule. Schedules seem to reduce stress on them
