Tegu Suddenly Started Running

[Alxsparks]

Our Tegu had been lounging on the sofa with us for a few hours when he suddenly jumped up and started running in circles. There was nothing around to touch or bother him and we can't figure out what happened.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Finnegan is generally very slow and docile. This might be the fastest we've ever seen him move.

Sorry about that! Thanks for letting me know. It should work now.

It looks like he's trying to defecate. Has he pooped in the last few days?

Yes, he has.

I agree it looks like that, but he just ate a large meal a few hours ago (a whole small mouse). If he was backed up, he wouldn't be eating like that, would he?

I agree with murkve. He was sniffing his butt a lot. Probably feels discomfort there. Try the warm bath poo thing. The poo is from before the big meal. He might eat if the back up hasn't gotten too bad yet.

Get him in a warm bath amd leave him til he poops its kind of funny though

White Castle cheeseburgers may help with pooing. They work for me.

Looks normal to me,.. just marking his territory or could also be trying to remove a piece of shed or something else from his vent.
