I have had my tegu for 2 weeks now and I have to say he is a completely different lizard. When I first got him, he was really flighty and would run away from me and hiss and do his huffle puff hoopla when I tried to pick him up. Now, if I open the cage and say Cato come here, he will get up and walk onto my hand. He is devouring crickets, meal worms, eggs, ground turkey, a little bit of chicken, and even grapes. He is getting a pot belly he just got through his first shed since being here as well which means he is growing. I take him out twice a day to free roam in the bathroom and if i get up to do something he will fallow me around the bathroom. If i sit down he comes up and climbs my legs and will let me pet him on his back and he will fall asleep. I think for being hatched on July 2nd, he is doing extremely well and is taming quite nicely. Although he seems more on the spoiled side lately. He climbed onto my stomach today and I had my hand resting there and he went and scratched at it until I started to pet him. He also scratches at his door when he is ready to go free roam. Really happy I made the choice to get a lizard and especially a tegu, definitely recommend them if you have the space and some time to spend daily.
