It's a little unusual for him to hang on this long.

I did have an unusual situation with my 2 yr old male, that was a yr old when I got him. Looking back, remembering how he hated me for 8-10 months, I think he just wanted to go back to Florida. Everyone thought it should end within a few weeks. It went on forever. Not trying to alarm you, but another common thought amongst Tegu owners is that they're very individual in their characters.
You're doing well! You sound very committed, and that's important.

My new 5-6 month old shows no signs of hating me, other than the usual squirming and an occasional spitting when I pick her up.
