I rarley ever handle my tegu, but i do spend plenty of time with him. I would lead him out the cage and on to my hand with food offered from tongs, first few temps this really didn't work he'd just jump grab the food and move back. After much effort it paid off, he will now crawl onto my hand and let me pull him it. From there we go to the bathroom where i'd let him just roam around and i'd read or get on my lap top, he often just climbs on me and on my head or on my lap top.

Its best to let your tegu make the moves and you follow. Be patience, work around the cage and let her make the first move towards you. It will take time, but like said it pays off.
