NEVER feed bananas. They have potassium which stops the absorption of calcium and can limit growth, energy, and overall activity of your tegu. Bananas are really only supposed to be a once in a while treat, so feeding them to an already lethargic tegu isn't the best idea.

Do you use high enough power uvb lights? My red x blue hybrid became way more active (especially in feeding) after I purchased a powersun 160 watt uvb bulb.

Hopefully this helps, good luck with your gu!
