So yesterday since i got him eating now, i tried to feed him crickets and wax worms but he seem uninterested. So what i did was i mixed up 3 wax worms and 4 crickets in some ground turkey and gave it to him. HE WENT TO TOWN!!!.. he ate all the worms and crickets plus 6 bites outta the turkey. Now to many that may not be much, but understand kane is no bigger that a pen and probably ways less than one too. So he stuffed his face.. Then i decided to try something new..

I sat in the sun with the window open to see if he trusted me enough to bask on me or jump off and run.. well he chilled for a bit maybe about an hour and then he got antsy so i put him back in my shirt thats in the cage and went to work lol.

One thing i recommend for all you new tegu owners out there. Always handle your tegu when they are full. They are much calmer and you could try this method so they learn that you are a safe spot..
