New rescue tegu

[stumpy]

So I rescued this poor lil guy from some people that were neglecting him. No lights no love. Bad bedding and even had a wiled garder snake in the tank with him . Sense I got him Thursday I have gotton all new lights and feeding him as much as he wants. Day 1 he was all skin and bones. Now after eating a lot of dubies and eggs and a pinki. He is almost to healthy wight. He is very skittish. But will let me tough him with out hissing some times. I lay my hand in his tank by him often so he can smell me. I make sure he sees me giving him food. I talk to him a lot. He even let me hd him for a bit
It will be slow going but I feel in live with the lil guy from day one
Here's a pick

He's lucky to be with you. In no time, he'll learn to trust you and he'll find out what love is.
