Aggressive

[Jefroka]

Try backing off his heat source temporarily before handling when they’re acting aggressively. Of course feed when they’ve warmed up. My tegu is coming up on his 11th birthday & when he acts aggressively we back off on his heat source. Sounds like with your tegu’s behavior you’re not too far from getting bitten, they pack a mean bite, so you definitely don’t want that!

Hope this helps, best wishes!
