Hi, this is my first post here, so sorry if this is the wrong spot. I need help regarding my new Golden Tegu. I picked him up from a store a little over 1 week ago, according to the store owner he was the last of 6 babies. I wanted to ask for any help in regards to getting him to at least be comfortable with me. His cage is full of both fake and real plants, 3 different hiding spots and some stuff to climb on. Despite this cover, he still acts very scared of me whenever I enter the room, typically hiding in one spot and just staring at me until I leave the room again. It's at the point where I need to be out of the room for him to eat from how scared he is. I left him alone for 2 days before trying to place my hand in his tank to get him used to it, but his scared nature hasn't let up. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something else I could try? I want him to like me and want to try to get him to be more of a companion rather than just a show animal, so any suggestions help.
