The vet provided you with Oxbow clinical care which is an easy to digest food that will be more than sufficient for the lizard while under treatment so there really isn't any need to stuff it before you begin to treat it.
As for the sales tax/non-profit argument, you might want to walk back that complaint a little, see

such purchaser. The refund provisions contained in G.S. 105-164.14(b) do not apply to the tax on such sales and no part thereof shall be refunded or claimed as a refund.

They admitted that they were selling the tegus at the show to you and this admission indicates that they were conducting retail sales so on the face of it, they need to collect the sales tax.
Now there could be an issue made about them selling animals that were acquired as rescues as opposed to adopting them out but that could just be an issue of semantics.
