Hi guys,
On an old account I was speaking to a chap on here from America (uk guy here) and he was very helpful, I couldn't remember his name, Harold comes to mind;
I've had my tegu for a year now and we have been through so much its incredible, I have a 8x4x4 enclosure, Basking spot is 115-124 depending where he lays, the gradient is around 85-95f and has efficient UVB lighting
He eats very well, he loves his chicks, rats. I also feed him smoothies that I make which I use the food sheet for that I found here, and I feed him lots of different bits. He also has his calcium and multi vits on scheduled days.
Now the issue I'm having is, he stays in his hide box, alot. I work 9-5 so I don't see him come out of the enclosure, he probably does for all I know, I know he leaves poo everywhere so he must do.
In the evening, I'll come home and feed him, I'll try stroke him, he will then look at me and back away slowly into his hide box. Can anyone suggest anything? He seems like he hates me. I'm happy to try anything, I understand that it may always be like this, but I want to try the best I can.
Thanks all.
