So picked up a red tegu about to weeks ago at a repticon expo. Seemed very friendly at the show. Seller said he was 2 months old. Got him and drove home ( 3 hours away) put him in a temporary set up which is almost three times his lengthy. And since I got him all he does is hid.i sometimes take him out if the hide and put him on my bed or place him in the basking area which goes up to 100 degrees. The cool side is at 75-80f°. Humidity has ranged from 70-99.When I put him to bask he does it fine but the leaves to his hid and doesn't ever come out. He has eaten 4 times since I got him. All chicken liver with calcium sprinkled on him . Also he has extra skin on his hind legs. This is my first tegu so wondering if that's normal? I just want him to be comfortable and happy. He is scared when getting into his tank but on the bed he's alot less nervous
