I wish my tegus were as great as everyone else's... They have been the most unrewarding animals I've ever kept.

It was scary the first time, quickly opening the viv and making sure he was still alive lol, luckily now when i see it i don't worry about it.

Ah that is a shame, mine are great, and are one of my favorite species.

I want them to be one of my favourite species but mine have been very difficult (not eating, very unfriendly)

Mine tends to pass out where he falls, he is quite a lazy chap, unless he is mating or food is about, then it is a whole other ball game lol.

Ah can be hard work when they aren't friendly, it is strange for them not to be eating though, mine go through winter brumation and stop feeding as much over winter, but apart from that they are food mad, and eat pretty much anything i offer them.
