Taming a Tegu is about security and Trust. There is a Youtube channel for Macgyver the Lizard that takes a really in depth look at raising a Tame/Secure Tegu. I reccomend watching it.

Bringing home a Hatchling that is 8-12 inches is great. But keep in mond that a Healthy Tegu eats like a horse and will have a peak growth of about an Inch a week for the first 9-12 months of it's life.

I would also reccomend starting on building a 6x3x3 Enclosure and understand that the bottom should have 8-12 inches of Cypress mulch so they can burrow and hide. Argentine Tegus naturally Hibernate/Brumate for about 6-8 months a year depending on where you live.

They really are intelligent creatures that are a Joy to keep.
