Hey guys i have had my tegu since September 2018 and he use to let me feed him with tongs and he use to crawl up my shoulder. But now all that has stopped i can still tong feed him sometimes. Sometimes he does't eat the food until I put it on the ground. Like he does not want me feeding him. Also he still does not let me hold him for more than like 10 minutes. i know this is not a requirement for me or them, but I would like for him to treat me like he does my girlfriend. He cuddles up to her and sleeps right by her side. Also he lets her hold him way longer then he lets me hold him. He still gets antsy with her but he has more of a tolerance towards her, Can it be because we are both males and he rather be held by a female. i do not know if that is a thing but it would make sense to me. But any tips will help, I hold him alsmost everyday now I do not know if thats why he does not like me holding him as much as her. Because I sue to hold him a lot and maybe he just associates me with getting picked up and "annoying" him. Please any tips will do and i will practice them all, even if it does not work for my boy Abadon the tips might help with a future reptile.
