Impaction or Constipation? Help Needed!

OH HE IS SUCH A BRAT!

So, Gator's ticked that I dug him up to check on him (hadn't seen him since Sunday). I had to towel wrap him to get him out. He huffed hissed and puffed up. Still doing it OUT of his enclosure too.

Terrible twos! (in Gu that would be 7 months by my estimation!).

Just for reference, Iâ??ve found a technique that works great for me to wake up a sleeping Teguâ?¦

Very simply poor warm water into the hide he is sleeping in. This wakes him up slowly and peacefully. Then once awake curiosity will encourage him to come out and see what the heck is going on.

wouldn't you be pissed if someone dug you up from a deep sleep? I had to do the same thing this past sunday. i get worried sometimes and need to make sure they are still alive.

Oh I like the warm water idea! I will do that from now on!

Yeah I'm ticked every morning when my alarm clock digs me outta my nice warm hide!

Reading about all of their quirks and tics has really gotten me interested and amused (I am in the planning process of getting a B&W; first post on here, actually).

I own three herps, one being a beardie, and I know them to have hilarious personalities. However, these tegus sound like they have it tenfold. I'm excited.
