    Well when they're eating, it's kinda letting their guard down. He probably just doesn't trust you yet.
    And you sure it's a he? That's a pretty feminine face.

    I think Mylnor is camera shy, not necessarily feeding shy. Maybe he/she is afraid you're going to post a video all over the web of him when he has food dribbling on his chin or something. BTW, I would also bet that your tegu is going to end up being a girl, biologically. But if he has already gender-identified as male, like if he beams when you say "Good boy," I would not pressure him to change. There's just no reason. Nobody else in your family is going to know, right? Why complicate his life even more. Society is becoming more accepting of transgendered reptiles, as long as you don't release him into the Florida everglades.
