Saturday I bought an Argentine Red Tegu from the expo in Columbus..so Ive had him about 3-4 days. Ive kept a binch of different snakes and lizards but this is my first Tegu. Ive alwaaays wanted one. I dont know the sex but its a few months old. I have him in a 40 gallon breeder for now. Hes got plenty of room but i plan on starting his cage build next month. (I say he out of habit but like i said not sure of the sex.) Well anyways hes not really eating and stays burrowed most of the time. The first day I had him home he ate a nice portion of egg and bananas and was extremely active that first day. But ever since he hasnt been coming out and i havent seen him eat once. Ive been offering him different things but he just seems interested for a second then walks away. Hes extremely skittish as well. I tried handling him for just a couple seconds and he wanted nothing but to get away from me. I know his temps and humidity are right. Is he just stressed still from the move or what? I know i really have no reason to worry quite yet I just really want him to be happy and healthy. Thanks for reading and would love some feedback
