Yesterday morning I had to put down my beloved basset hound due to cancer. I was an emotional wreck the whole day, and surprisingly, when I went to get out Ellie, she came up to me and put her head into my hands, let my scratch her neck for a long time, and then calmly crawled up my arm. The rest of the day she stayed very close to me. Now Ellie is not the attention-seeking tegu, and never has been since I've had her. She is very independent and will only tolerate being held/handled. It seemed out of the ordinary and got me thinking if tegus can read human emotions like other animals can, and act off of that, or maybe this was just a random act of kindness from her? Lol.
