i was wondering if anyones tegu has been acting agressive with other reptiles because my nero recently escaped( which is becoming routine) and this last time i found him in my uromastyx tank which has an open top to help keep humidity low and i saw him bully my uro out of his hide box which is way to small for him but it reminded me of when he was small and i accidentily dropped my savannah monitor in his cage and he rushed him and attacked this lizard who was probably four times his size i was planning on getting my red in two weeks i never planned on housing them together because neru is so big and im sure the red would be way smaller but this makes me nervous about even introducing them however with me he is totaly docile he will cuddle up with me and fall asleep not to sure about other people because i have seen him puff his neck up and and posture himself when my brothers in his room or by his bin he is good with my dog he just licks him alot but show no aggresion or fear but my poor dog is terrified

Mine does NOT like seeing my snakes. Absolutely hates it; huffs up, scratches the tank, moves back and forth. Doesn't mind my cats though; he just looks at them, flicks his tongue, and goes on his merry way -- cats don't mess with him though lol

My tegu ins't like that at all... He is very calm. He dosen't act aggressive toward my leopard geckos but they seem very interested in him. One of my african cichlids did charge at him and him and the fish had a little standoff between the glass. No real aggression though.
