Hello, we bought a red tegu on December 14, I'm not sure how old s/he is because we got it from a per store. They bought it in August. I'm guessing it's 5-6 months old. We had it in an aquarium but it was aggressive while in it, and I felt it didn't have enough room to move around. We just moved it to its own room. There are two basking spots and a humid box with substrate. My question is, will he naturally calm down and enjoy our company or is this something I'm going to have to force? We are able to (sometimes) pet him, and my daughter has been able to pick it up. But most of the time it huffs and puffs at us and whips its tail. If I back away when he does this, am i teaching him to trust me, or that he's the boss? Any tips are appreciated
