A tegus motivation in life is to wake up, go poop, warm up, eat, possibly make little degus, and go to bed! How he interacts with you during all that is entirely up to you temperature is everything! Keep it smart, keep it simple.
Spartacus is enjoying a bird seed jungle! Oh yea, just plant some outdoor bird seed ( even in habitat ) and your little jungle will be popping up in just a few days!
Throw it down! Sparticus is getting valuable minerals lapping up this egg. He also will eat a potion of the shell to give him natural Calcium! Remember they can digest teeth. I do smash some shell for him while he is eating. Sparticus is a Las Vegas kept Tegu.
First, puff up an hiss standing tall?
Second, whipping tail back and fourth?
Did his body temp. drop below 89 ?
Remember a cold Tegu is a flighty Tegu! Temperature is everything!
Sounds like somewhere along the line he lost his trust in you! Remember what your dealing with. I'm glad he hasn't grabbed your child by the face. Did he warn you with body language first?
