Hi there, I'm new here so let me start off and say I love this site! You are all so nice and helpful.
I recently acquired a black and white Argentine tegu and he's settling in very well. On the 5th day my husband finished building his final enclosure, which is a wooden 8'x2'x2'. In order to move the tegu to its new home, we had to pick him up. He thrashed and tried biting throughout the entire ordeal. I understand it's best to wait a week before handling but my question is if a tegu can tame out if he's simply constantly around the same two people (cleaning and maintenance of cage without touching him) without any handling?
We ask this because he was so scared and we felt so bad!
