this could be a bad idea, any input?

i am amazed. i had to fight with him to get him out, but i put him in the tub, and he let me get him out without much trouble, THEN let me hold him for a minute, i took a couple pictures, i'll post them in a bit!!

Yay!
This is how we calmed our columbian down. Some people bathe theirs everyday but to minimize stress from him not being fully tamed, we do it 3-4 times a week.

he seemed like a totally different tegu when i got him out, i'll keep it up, hopefully he isnt as wild by the time i send him to you

Billie, that's awesome! I'm so happy to hear bath time went so well!

 

[BillieJeAn]

im just so surprised! he's never ever been that calm!

Bathtime works wonders for our little nutcase. I'm really glad that it worked so well, and that you can interact with him more than before. You can begin to truly enjoy a tegu now to prepare you for your next!!!

i'll try and get him out again tomorrow and see how it goes, then i'll leave him be for a couple days and get him out again, would that work? im so happy, i actually got to hold him without all the unnecessary freak-out biting hissing puffing tail whipping episodes he tends to have

For sure! Just don't let him intimidate you. Just stand firm with a 'listen here! Calm down because you'll like me in a minute!' Attitude.

Request accepted. Just check out today's video of ganja.

My husband is going to LOVE the name. LOL. I told him he couldn't name any of our reptiles after star Wars characters unless they already came that way. He's gonna be stoked!
