What species of tegu do you have?

B&w argentine

Does it normal for yearling to be like to flee away from people?

 

[Walter1]

It could be normal if the lizard is scared of the big open space. How is he in a room and on your lap or in cage where you can pet him?

 

[evan k]

Very calm when she is in the cage.if i let him sit in my lap she doesn't like to be pet for too long.but sometimes i put her on my tummy and pet her,she stay and close her eyes for almost 5 minutes maybe

 

[Walter1]

You're well on your way with her. She's just not ready for big open spaces, yet.
