So yesterday I was cleaning the Tegu Cage, took him out no problem. When I put him back in, he goes right into feeding mode. I turn my head for 1 second to shut the glass and WHAM! He's clamped onto my hand like a toothed vice. So everyone learn from my mistake. DONT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE TEGU! Even if he was being nice 5 seconds prior.I got lucky and rather than breaking bones he only scrunched my hand together really hard. I can tell you, with that bite pressure he could have snapped a finger right off. It could have been a thousand times worse, but I'll let the pictures do the talking from here...
