My Tegu and I have a routine. He's an early riser, so he's already in his basking spot waiting for me to click the light on for him when I wake up. Usually around 7am my daughter wakes up, on my way to the kitchen to make her bottle I swing by the reptile room and click lights on for everyone. I get my daughter settled and head to the kitchen to prepare the Tegu's meal.
He watches me carefully as I enter the room and prep his bowl inside his feed box.
I remove the lid from his enclosure and he sits very still,... his breathing becomes labored as I approach him, but when I gently grasp him with my hand, his whole body goes limp. I proceed to stroke him on his head and under his chin, calmly talking to him about what's for breakfast for the day. He begins to revert back to his squirmy old self and then BAM! *SQUIRRRRRRRRT*… He shits all over me.
This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME and half the time it happens in the feed box, the other half happens all over me. Its like he waits for me... saves it for me.
Im just hoping this is a term of endearment and not his way of rebelling since he's been such a great sport.
