    No, the clicker works on food reward and repetitive conditioning. All sorts of animals can be clicker trained in various states of "tameness".

    Depending on what you want to do, the training will go faster the more comfortable she is with you.

    no the clicker works anyway. it doesn't really have anything to do with how docile the tegu is. two months of clicker training and that tegu will flip out at the slightest noise. well, that how flow is.

    Clicker training work with any kind of animal.
    Calm, agressive, big, small, smart or dumb, there is no problem!
    All you have to do, is to be patient!
    Take the time to read this article that I wrote on animal training.
