I have a B&W tegu, he is very docile. The only time he is not so happy to see you is if you have to dig him out (he likes to burrow under the substrate....ignores any hides in the cage). Your tegu should be pretty tame as long as you handle him gently, don't over restrain him, and don't over do it during any one session.

"To truly rescue an animal one has to provide long-term care that guarantees the animal's security for its natural life, because rescuing is more than removing an animal from a bad situation. Rescue involves restoring and preserving the animal's dignity for its natural life without stress, and this includes conserving the species as a whole for generations to come."
