tegu bites
Hi all,
I've had pretty good luck with my sav, never tried to bite. Except when he was a baby once he kept rubbing his head on my finger then slowly bit it a little but let go. Seems he knows it's not food after.
My tegu however, whenever he's hungry if I stick my hand anywhere near him he'll lunge and my hand and bite it or try to eat it. I got bit 4 times so far and today it drew blood, hope I don't get gangrene or something, I washed with soap right away.
They say tegu's in general are usually tamer than monitors, I got it the opposite. This tegu is a maniac lol. I guess I'll just have to wear gloves when I'm cleaning or working on the cage. Just thought I'd share.
p.s. I know this is a monitor forum, but there's no tegu section and I figure they are somewhat similar in terms of the interest group? Hope you don't mind me posting tegu stuff here.
