Hiya sorry i havent posted in awhile.

My tegu "Kompis" is really friendly but for the last few months hes been really kinda hyperactive. Its like hes hungry and just going nuts even tho he doesnt bite or never have i cant control him out of the enclosure since i moved to another apartment about 2 months ago. Its like he gets wilder and wilder the more hes out of the enclousure and if hes out for more than like 5 minutes i nearly have to chase him to catch him.

I used to just lay him on the couch in my old appartment and he would be calm like a whistle. Ive been reading alittle about internal worms that cause tegus to feel hunger and doesnt seem to be a rare thing especially since the breeders i bought them from (only one in sweden with constant stock) seem to be famous when it comes to not handling their reptiles well.

Ive had him for about a year so i think hes like 15 months old or something like that.

Any advice?
