OK, so my tegu is growing faster than I could ever have imagined. The little guy was 144grams the day I brought him home and now less than 3 months later he is well over 500grams. He/She Is finally getting big enough to let loose in a room, supervised of course, without getting into too much trouble.
The only room in my house that is really tegu-proof is the bathroom. So recently Ive been letting him go in there. Sometimes Ill chill on the floor and mess around on my laptop or read while hes exploring, but other times Ill walk out of the room for a few minutes to take care of things around the house. Never for more than 5 minutes or so though.
So here is my question...or observation. The last two times that my gu as been roaming, there have been dirty socks laying around. The first time I noticed one laying across the floor after I left him alone for a bit...far from where it was to begin with. I thought I imagined it...that it had been moved by me or my roommate by mistake. But tonight I moved the shower curtain to see him shaking a dirty sock back and forth. He saw me, dropped it, and scurried off behind the toilet. He is much to small to swallow the sock, but im just curious if any of you have any ideas what he may be doing? Does he think its food? Is he just playing with it out of boredom? I really have no idea what to think about it lol.
Just thought I'd share and see what you all thought.
