i am new to tegus but have had other reptiles my whole life. i will be getting a adult columbian tegu soon (10/15/12). the current owner breeds snakes and never gave the tegu much time or attention, she is not very friendly and is known to bite sometimes. i have a new home for her and also got a feeding tank/cage for her. her new home is 4 ft log by 3 ft high, and 2 feet deep. i know this is kind of small for her but she has been in a 40 gallon tank her whole life, maybe thats why she is not friendly? i am looking for some tips to help me make her friendly or at least easier to handle for feeding and cleaning. i have read some good tips here and printed all kinds of tegu care sheets. any other tips and tricks would be great. i am also building / finishing her new home this month. any tips on building hides or where to get hides for a adult tegu would help. i will post on the build soon. (i dont breed reptiles i keep them for fun and show case them in my home, been told my set ups are better then some zoos)
