    I'm sorry to hear that the light broke. If you want to you can put a small towel over him and then get him out of the enclosure and then put him into the feeding bin. I recommended this trick to another member on here ( but they have a adult Tegu ) and it worked very well.

    Yes, you can. If you want to you can use my shirt trick ( link below ) right when he gets up and is still cold. He will like the warmth of your body and gets to smell you, too. Or if you are scared that he is going to bite you, you can put him into a pillow case and then put him on your lap. Put you hand over him and don't move. Make sure that he can not get out of the pillow case. They are very fast and very hard to get when they take off. You also can try one of those tricks after he ate. He is less likely to bite when he is full. There is a chance that you could get pooped on lol. So you might want to keep a eye open if he starts to move around to much after he relaxed for a bit .

    You are welcome. Any time. I'm glad when I can help out. Somtimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Every Tegu is different. I'm happy to hear that he ate something . He looks very healthy. Don't worry. As he gets older he will calm down ( if you keep the patience up it will not be to much longer ). I forgot to ask you, when you pick him up do you put one of your hand's underneath him to suport his feet and body. They get very squirmy if the feet are in the air.

    If you are to worried about getting bit again you could wear the gloves when you first pick him up. After he ate and is full I would try to pick him up without the gloves. Tegus are less likely to bite when they are full ( as long as your hands are clean ).
