    Default Struggling Tegu!!

    My Tegu struggles a bit with his tail when you take him out, do not like it at all! Have you had the same problem? He is now a year and a half! And what should I do to get rid of it? I try to keep him so I will strengthen his legs but he struggles anyway! grateful for answers, have a nice day!

    Do you mean he is having trouble with shedding his skin or using his tail? Or is he tail whipping when you pick him up?

    Weasley is about a year and a half maybe 2 years and he struggles like helicopters with his tail until he feels stable in my arms I generally put him on my chest and holdhis middle above his back legs so he can't walk off my shoulder cause he will do that. LOL he will chill out eventually just keep working with him and he will chill out. Weasley still holds his mouth open at me sometimes when i pick him up but I can reach and close it and he is like OH yeah cool.
