Hi Guys,
I love the forum, and I'm interested in getting a Tegu later this year.
I've read from this forum they seem to hit puberty around 8 to 10 months and round out to adulthood around 18 months.
My Question is; are they constantly aggressive for that entire time (grouchy/bitey) or does it come and go?
And then when they are acting up, I've seen people talk about balling your hand up into a fist to prevent some of their nips- should I wear gloves while handling?
Should I still continue to attempt to tame them the same way as pre-puberty? (Sitting in a tub with them, the t-shirt method, etc.)
Thanks Guys for any response, I just want to be prepared before hand!
