Hi. I live in Santa Cruz de la Sierra - Bolivia (South America - Between Brasil and Peru)
I recently capture alive a young Tupinambis Merinae ( B/W tegu ) in my workplace (at outskirts of my city). Sadly in my first attempt to grab "Basil" (That's his/her name) the tail snaps (Is healing well - I think).
This first week I used leather gloves to handle. Now there is no attempt to bite so I handle bare handed but still get nervous when I do so and try to escape and hide. Eats Eggs, chicken loins chipped in pieces and "Mangos" (MangÃ?Æ?Ã?Âfera Domestica & MangÃ?Æ?Ã?Âfera Altissima). His/her Size is about 12".
Lives ( for now ) in my room ( 4m x 4m x 2.5m ) - (19.68' x 19.68' x 8.20')
Some co-workers said I could keep a leash on him/her and set it free at the yard ( There is a Fence instead a wall at my home so he/she can escape) since is still summer here.
Takes Sun light through a window.
Here are some pics.

My questions are:
*Can "Basil" tail grows back?
*How old "Basil" is?
*How can I Find out his/her Sex?
*Is "Basil" a Giant type?
*What should I do to grow on him/her?
*Is my menu ok?
*What Vitamins I should give him/her?
*Is the leash a good idea?
*Should I keep it indoors? If so. Should I build a Cage for him/her?
Thank you for your time and help if provided.
