    Default Taming question ?

    I take my tegu out most day's and im wondering how long i should hold her before i let her have her treat "food" ? When i take her out she may sometimes hiss or squirm a bit and other time's she wont mind being handled and rubbed :lol: She has never bit

    Some Tegus have mood swings when they are shedding.When she hisses at you did she just wake up ? I usually feed my Tegus one hour after they basked.

    You know, I feed mine first then handle them. We have a routine: eat, poo, clean, handle. They're calm because they aren't thinking of food, I'm calm because I'm not thinking they're going to poo everywhere, and everyone's happy! :wink:
