    Hello I am new to this forums page and have my red tegu Roshi. She has mostly been an angel since I got her but right away as soon as I got her I noticed she did a lot of like rubbing on the glass and wouldnt stop.

    Help: sudden aggresion and what to do?

    Hi, I would like ask for some helps or tips from you guys if I may. Currently I have one bw tegu (unknown sex) that is 98 cm long. I have kept it since 6,4 years ago I think but I got no idea for its biological age (probably 7 years old judging by the size when I bought it was 40 cm long?). In...

    Suddenly Aggressive Tegu

    Hello, I just got my new baby argentine B&W tegu. I have had him for about a week now. I read up a lot on taming and knew that slow and simple was the right move. He was very friendly when I first opened my package and he climbed right on my arm! I let him sit and walk around my room for a...

    Tegu unnaturally aggressive?

    hey y’all, we have a ten month old female Argentine B/W Tegu who we’ve had for 3 months. Ever since we got her she’s been super aggressive towards us. Not even defensive, but going out of her way to get us to go away. If we put our hand up to the glass she launches herself at the glass and will...

    Cage Aggression

    Hey there all, I have a B&W Tegu that is about a year old. Every time my wife and I get into to his cage to clean or get him out he starts breathing really hard, running sporadically, and whipping his tail around. If he is not in his cage he doesn't act like this towards us and is pretty much...

    Hello there, I've been the proud new owner of a male baby Red Tegu who i named Fafnir that i ordered from Underground Reptiles for about four months now. I would just like some advice and answers, namely about a new behavior that he's started to exert. Before I start, i would just like to say...

    My tegu seems to be aggressive lately

    Well I believe my tegu was abused or at least mistreated before I got him. When he was handed over to me he struggled and scratched my entire arm all the way up.. then when he was on the transport bag he was fine and calm I rubbed him and he was ok. Then we got him home let him roam our 6,000 sq...

    Tegu can't be handled at all?

    A lot of advice about tegu taming seems to rely on actually being able to pick up your tegu, like taking them into the bathroom or putting them in your shirt... But my girl is pretty much untouchable. The one time I had to get her to the vet, I had to throw a towel over her and grab her that...

    New baby Tegu (potential hibernation and bonding problems?)

    Hi guys. Worried new Tegu mama. I've worked with adult Tegus for a long time, but this baby business is a whole new experience. Long story short, I've had my little B&W for around a month. He's alright with me touching him, but will scamper under his hides and not come out when I'm around. The...

    Two week old Tegu biting my finger

    The other day as I was moving the substrate around my Tegu lashed at me. I thought that since I have giving her crickets before she may have thought that one was around my fingers when she saw me moving the substrate. Well today I attempted to feed her a piece of fruit by hand, she came to me...

    Moved and now my Tegu is really aggressive

    So I got Fat Mike (named after the lead singer of NOFX) at like 13 inches on October tenth. He's now a little over two feet. We just recently moved across town and ever since he's been crazy aggressive. He does the snake tail thing and now lunges at my hands. Before he was a little skittish but...
