Hello cortez, congratulation for your new Tegu.
To help you in the taming process you need to answer these question.
1) What kind of Tegu?
2) Do you feed him into his own enclosure or in another one?
3) Did you wash your hand after feeding him?
4) For how long you set him into his new cage?
5) How long did you have him?
You got a good point about the bitten part, yes it's a good thing to not remove the hand during a bite. It will makes him realize that it has no effects on you.As you said, baby Tegus are more nervous than most adult and mature Tegu. If you put him into a new cage, you have to let him 1-2 weeks alone, so he can discover his new house. Of course, the taming process will take several days,weeks and even months if your Tegu have a harder personality.
I think you are in the good way, you will have to repeat it often. Build his trust and he will be an awesome pet.
However, other people on this forum are going to tell you their opinion about taming tips.
Good luck! :wink:
