Hey there. I am a new owner. I've had my red x blue tegu now for about 2 months. Im told hes a male and he was hatched on Aug 26.
Hes a picky eating. Ill feed him meat mash. Turkey or chicken mixed with eggs veggies and fruits with calcium. Or chicken hearts. Salmon. Freezer dried insects. Hell pick at things put wont take a full serving. Looking for help with feeding and diet ideas for the guy to get him more plump and growing faster.
Also with handling he quite skidish yet and likes to jump out of my hands alot. Having to us his tail to secure him more then I'd like. He's not biting and you can pet him once he calms down. Should I just be more patient? Or should he be more along after having him for a couple months. Any ideas in that department? Here's some pics of the little guy. As you can see, not as plump as id like. He part of the family and treated well. Always looking for ideas and help along the way. Thanks in advance !!!!
