    New tegu needs help

    New tegu needs help

    Hi. I'm new to this site, and new to owning tegus. I got my first tegu a few days ago, I'm fairly certain it's a male. I'm a bit worried about him though. He is very friendly and loves to sleep on me, but all he does is sleep. He hasnt eaten for me yet except for a few licks of a soft boiled egg...
