I’ve had my tegu, Blue, (redxblue) for 2 weeks now. She's about 4 months old.
For the first week and a half she hid only coming out of her burrow to bask for a little while, maybe grab a bite of food, then would run back to hiding.
I have been trying to win her trust, and we've been making a little progress with a nice bath yesterday, and she finally ate a whole chicken liver -dusted with calcium powder.
Her basking temp is 110 and her cool side is around 85.
She's been acting healthy and normal as far as I can tell by searching this forum.
Today I went to take her out to feed her. I put her down by her plate of turkey meatballs (with greens, egg and calcium) and she stood there and twitched. Her legs, toes twitched and she seemed to just want to sleep. She walked around a bit, didn't eat a thing, and then just rested and rubbed her head on my hand. She's got a little shed going on on top of her head but nothing major.
Should I panic? Am I doing something wrong? I'm getting her to the rep vet tomorrow morning but I'm kinda freaking out.
Help!!!
