EXTREME Tegu Taming | Re-earning Trust With My Tegu

My Tegu is looking and acting worlds better, but there definitely is some trust needing repair. Today I will be taking the "existing in their environment" taming method to the EXTREME in order to re-earn my Tegu's trust.

I started getting into the reptile hobby in February of 2018. My first reptile was my Bearded Dragon - Maxine Pegasus (creator of duel monsters btw). Since then, I have added five Yellow Ackie Monitors (Asus, Dell, LG, and two unnamed babies), a Chacoan Black and White Tegu (Frappuccino), a Crested Gecko (Destin), and a Russian Tortoise (Tortellini). I also have a dog named Thrall (yes, from World of Warcraft) who is a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix - aka a Chiweenie.

My goal with this channel is to share my knowledge, experience and journey with other reptile/animal enthusiasts and become a better caretaker because of it. Hopefully I can learn a lot from the community through these videos.

Awesome content dude! Will start on socializing my tegu outside he's cage and lights! I believe in respect and trust is the key. Food respons should always be worked on and I found it solved by only feeding by tongs/hand (colored gloves).

That went well! Looks like he'll be back to normal in no time!

It would have built a great bond if you had pooped after Frap did, that's the ultimate in Tegu bonding. They poop together and it's like becoming blood brothers is to us. You'll have to try again.

Do you find that they're grumpier during sheds?

I lost trust with my leo after he was ill and being given injections etc. I ended up leaving him, and eventually he came up to me asking for a hug and that was it. All fixed XD

You are lucky I let you out of there haha.

Hello! I have a two year old blue tegu whos having trust issues. Im definitely gonna try sitting with him longer each day for sure :) Though, he has become food aggressive. Ive been trying to change up feeding spots, but he still likes to come after my feet when i pass by his basking spot every once in awhile. Also, I like to take him inside, but i do have to grab him unfortunately to bring him in which he probably HATES. Does anyone have any more tips so I can gain his trust better in these two issues? I feel like I annoy him alot lol :(

Let me ask you guys a question

Do you guys think $286 USD (Or $400 CAD) is a reasonable price for an Argentine black and white Tegu?
