Hi All, I have a two month old Tegu. I left her alone for the first week and then I started holding my hand in the enclosure and she would get curious and check me out. So when I started to gently go under her belly I get whipped. I want to feed her in a seperate bin but every attempt turns into a chasing game. I don't move too fast I just continue to follow her around with my hand but it is stressing her out. She is a whipper, that is her first response when I try to touch her. I have seen the "how to take a baby out the tank" clips on youtube and that is how I approach it but i still get whipped. I did get her out of the enclosure about 5 times last week and while she is out she is great! No fighting, no puffing or whipping, I have had her in my sweatshirt and she crashed, I have had her outside, free roaming in the bathroom but I still get the same response when I try to get her out the next day.....I can't get her out to feed her unless I want to chase her. My enclosure is a good size, 4x2x2, should I have started smaller for a young one? I also visit TheTegu often but I am posting this here as it was the Varnyard youtube clips I saw about taking the baby out of the tank.
Thanks in Advance
