Thing of it is, and I don't want to sound like an alarmist and get you overly concerned, there has been a huge increase lately in reptilian fungal infection, predominantly with the bearded dragons. The pathogen in that case is quite debilitating and has often lead to amputations and death. I am in no way saying this is what is going on with your tegu, but it is far better to get a $100 vet bill and be told it's nothing, than to not investigate and possibly suffer through something that could have been avoided in the first case.
