hey y’all, we have a ten month old female Argentine B/W Tegu who we’ve had for 3 months. Ever since we got her she’s been super aggressive towards us. Not even defensive, but going out of her way to get us to go away. If we put our hand up to the glass she launches herself at the glass and will and has launched herself into our hands if we put them in her enclosure. She eats great and seems well, but will not calm down. We believe she may be wild caught from the Everglades (scars on face and orange/yellow belly). We feed her two rats every other day and a handful of blueberries. I hear all the time to socialize them in the bathtub, but we can’t even get her in the bathtub. We have standard issue C-wire gloves so we aren’t afraid of grabbing her, but as soon as her lids open she bolts. We can’t even wrangle her into the bathroom without her death rolling out of our hands and trying to either kill us or run away. We’ve tried constantly trying to have our hands in her enclosure and sit by it/talk to her and also weeks of just no contact with her and trying to let her settle down. Nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated! Thanks
