I know this may be an incredibly stupid question, but is there any way to "potty train" an Argentine tegu, such as getting it to do its business in a litterbox or something?

Then how can I do it? I kind of thought about giving it "treats" such as small slices of hot dog or hard-boiled eggs every time it sh*ts outside or in a certain part of the tank-would that work?
