yea they are housed together in a 8x3ft viv, i braught george first from a reptile shop in mansfield, he was the only one they had, but they handled him every day, so he was pretty placid when i got him, he hissed & arched his back at me but that was about it, 2 months later i now open the viv and he hopps streight out he loves a scratch & a fuss.

milly i got from wharf just over a week ago, she is very skittish, but not in an agressive way she blows herself up hisses & wriggles her tail at me then she leggs it for cover if i approach her, once out she calms down but constantly attempts to sneek off,
now however we are making progress already 10 days into owning her, if i approach her calmly & slowly make sure she can see me she still huffs n puffs, walks away very slowly but alows me to pick her up from under her belly without legging it. today she was rubbing her nose up the glass as if she was telling me she wanted to come out.

almost forgot had to laugh when i braught her, the chap at wharf got her out, she pannicked that much that she projectiled the entire contense of her bowl all over him, that will teach him for using a tea towel.

any way i think if you take your time with your purchase it will soon realise your not a threat & start craving attention from you. hope this helps.
george was my first tegu & i think i was more nervous of him, than he was of me, but now i have overcome them nervs we are great together.
