    Biting at feet?

    My 3 year old tegu has formed a liking for biting our feet. Test biting, I believe. He isn’t aggressive when he does it… just wants to bite? I had made a post few years ago since I was having a similar problem, and the suggestions worked, though he has started again. Before, it was because I was...

    Tegu hates enclosure

    UPDATE! Ive decided to create a side door on his enclosure now so I can stop bringing him out from the top! Im hoping this will help with the jumping. I am also going to close off the hiding space under his enclosure because when I have him out, I want him to hang out with me and not want to...

    Tegu hates enclosure

    Oh gosh Im sorry that happened. The light is sitting on top of the chicken wire lid, sorry if I didn’t explain it right. So I covered 2/3 of the lid with tarp so he wont jump up and hurt his nose, but the exposed chicken wire where the lamp sits on top of is where he still jumps to get out. Im...

    Is there a specific enclosure you recommend? How much larger should I go? His enclosure now is 8ft.

    Tegu hates enclosure

    I made a post about this awhile back. I tried the methods of covering 2/3s of the chicken wire, but that one spot the lamp sits on (that is uncovered) he lunges for. Luckily hes not hurting himself as much as before, but does still try. I know I was suggested to get an enclosure with side...

    Tegu hates enclosure

    Hello! Unfortunately, my tegu always wants out of his enclosure. The enclosure opens from the top, so he will try to jump up at it to get out. I want him to not mind being in there, but in a way, I feel like I spoiled him from being out all the time. Is there any way I can try to get him to...

    Tegu trying to bite me now

    Thank you Debita! I’ll definitely try the cooling down method. Lately I’ve been putting him on a routine and so far he hasn’t shown his aggression in a few days. I’m hopeful!! Thank you everyone for the help!!

    Tegu trying to bite me now

    Okay I’ll definitely try saying NO! He has tried to bite me even when not feeding, just him basking in my room and he lunges and bites me when I pass by. I put him in his enclosure once he does this, but I don’t want him to associate the enclosure with negativity. Is there any other tips on how...

    Tegu trying to bite me now

    My tegu has gotten very bitey these past two weeks. I’m going to try the feeding tactic y’all suggested, but he now charges and bites my feet whenever he is free roaming in my room. It really sucks because I feel helpless.. I’m not sure how to go about this.

    Please help! Tegu hurting nose on enclosure top

    If I sit the lamp on top of the chicken wire where the plexiglass is, will it melt it? I assume it has to get very hot to do so, but I don’t want to risk anything before purchasing it :) Thank you!

    Please help! Tegu hurting nose on enclosure top

    Hello! I really need help figuring out what to do with my tegu’s enclosure. The top is similar to chicken wire. That is where I have his lamps sitting on top of, but he knows the lid opens and that is how he is let out. Because of this, he jumps up and scrapes his nose on the top. I cannot think...
