I have a short update. Bambi, after being very much not in favor of handling has really turned the corner. Over the last couple of days, I have been allowed to stroke her chin, jowls and belly. Actually she seems to enjoy it. Today, she actually came to my hand when I put it in her tank as if she wanted to be stroked. Naturally, I accomodated her and if her closing her eyes while I did it was any indication, she enjoys it and now wants it.
I love Tegu's.
She has grown over 4" in the five weeks I have owned her....just amazing.
