I just got my first baby tegu today :) my roommate has a year old male and mine is female. I was wondering if anybody could give me some advice on how I should go about getting them used to each other

Neutral ground,.. when they are both size appropriate depending on the size of your roommates yearling. If at all for now,.. wait until the baby gets bigger.

I would wait until the baby is a little bit bigger. I introduced mine in the bath tub. I was pretty nervous but I didn't have any reason to be, I was shocked with how mellow Guru was (he was the larger one). Tegus generally do alright together when roaming.
Here is a pic from when I introduced Rango and Guru for sort of a size comparison. You might be able to do it before they reach the size of mine. Hard to believe these two are the same size, this pic is only a couple months old.
