So after reading a few members comments on the bathtub trick to help with taming, I thought it'd be fun/good to try it myself. I cleaned out the tub and laid down a blanket then crawled into it and let my little tegu run around. At first it wanted nothing to do with me, it took just over a half hour before curiosity got the best of it and it started exploring me. First my pant leg, then the gap under my knees, then my arm sleeve, then it crawled onto my stomach and then further up my arm. I felt like I was finally making progress... But then it crawled a little higher and jumped right out of the tub and ran behind the toilet..
Thank god I had put a towel in front of the door, this little guy would have been dog chow! I know tegus are supposed to be smart but I didn't know the babies were! Lesson learned, don't underestimate their intelligence (or jumping abilities) :doh :doh :doh :doh :doh :doh
