I'm no expert but if I had a fiesty Tegu I would just cut its lights off and let it cool down. Once the Tegu is at room temperature (1/2 hr maybe) Then I would pick it up slowly and softly to start building trust. If he wiggles or squirms thats ok..just no sudden movements. Then get a tank...
Hmmm interesting... I wonder if a lil dawn dishwashing liquid rubbed over the tail and left to soak for 10-15 mins would "aid" in the tail shed coming off easier? Enki body shed peeled like a banana when I towel dried her. Think I'll give it a few more days see what happens on its own before I...

I bought my tegu from Teguonly at the Orlando Repticon Show and have to say Wow! These tegu's are wild caught but are so remarkably tame. He warned me thier behavior would be different once I got her/him home but not so. This guy is tame, healthy and just a gentle tegu. Plus is a rescue cause...
