    Tegu Housing question

    Ok, so my tegu is still a baby, but he's getting to the point of needing a larger cage. I wanted to know if this would work. I know with many animals you can use a clear plastic storage container (those huge ones for like clothes and stuff) and the animals are happy with that. Would it be...

    my tegu is trying to eat me!

    I'd say either wear closed toed shoes when he is free to roam, or maybe wear socks. If the pups are alive when he is fed, he might mistake the toe movement for prey. So try to just cover your feet when he's out and I think that should help.

    Need Help with Taming my Baby Tegu (Super Aggressive)

    Progress Update: So, he is being a little bit more accepting of me. He lets me pet his side with little to no rejection, however, i cant touch his back, tail, head, or really anywhere but his side. He seems to be a little bit more trusting, but not by much. He absolutely REFUSES to be held, ive...

    So quick progress report. I've been able to start petting him on his back, he has a bit of an interjection with it, like heavy breathing, but other then that things are going better. He seems to like his bottom jaw pet, since he shows no interjection with tht. I cant pick him up though...

    are you sure getting rid of the gloves is a good idea? I'm just trying to be cautious since he has bitten me once already

    so he is officially a black and white tegu then. Good to know, now as stated above, ive just been trying to pet him to get used to hands, is this the best way, or no.

    also, whats the best way to handle them, all ive been doing is just putting on protective gloves and petting his back, its showing MINOR signs of improvement, is there another way to gain that trust better, or is what im doing the best way

    Lol, ok, i put one in there. Hopefully this works. Hes still a bit mad at me for yesterday, I had to clean his cage and soak him in the bath (he got pretty dirty recently). So it was a bit harder to get the sock into his den.

    Will a sock work? The cave he is in i dont think has enough room for a shirt
