I bought my new tegu yesterday and couldn't be happier with him. He seems to be already tame, almost. He came to my house around noon yesterday and I held him twice before he fell asleep around midnight. I woke up and he was up walking around his tank and he ate a pinky mouse and refused another, and again when it was offered 5 hours later. I am just extremely surprised because he just hangs out with me basically. He ran once and I got him back quickly, then he just sat around mainly on my arm, and when I offered him to get down he wouldn't do it, either he likes me or was just using me for body heat. He went after a banana like it was a live mouse, and threw half of it 5 feet away. I have a few concerns, though. My first concern is I have a 100 watt exoterra intense basking spot bulb in a 75 gallon and the rock meant for a basking spot only gets to 85 degrees. How do I get him to the right temperature? Also he hasn't pooped yet. Should I be concerned?
