i just got a leash/harness for bruce..... i wanted to take him out in the sun before it started cooling down here.
i was wondering if anyone else has tried to put their guys on a leash? if so,any tips?

i am already expecting a huge tantrum lol. ill have to give him something special for dinner as a reward.

Stay away form iguana leads, as tegus HATE to be noosed around the neck. Harness-style leashes are better. I leash Kodo whenever I take him out, although he doesn't like putting it on. He knows how to take it off and will given half a chance.

Also expect a huge behavior change once outside. Some tegus will flip out once outside but when brought back inside return to their normal behavior. I just got my lizard use to a harness inside first before ventering outside.

My Colombians don't care to be outside as much as my Args. When they do get scared, Colombians are faster, more agile, and tend to look up to jump if they are in your arms. The Args look to stay on the ground and hide.

My old male and female walk around the yard nicley and even come back inside and go thier cage on their own. My young female always tries to dart away as fast as she can. I use a Hug-a-Dog Harness with a 25 foot extendable dog leash on her. so she can roam but if she gets to far I can stop her.
