Winter time he was put back inside and was calm again. I believe his theory had to do with the Sun. Nice looking tegu you have.

I read that if you raise them outside from a baby, then they don't react adversely to sunlight
There was an EXPERIMENT done (again, EXPERIMENT, so could be missing something, ) where two baby Savannah monitors were raised with the same humidity, same temperatures, same diet, same enclosure, only difference: one outside, one inside. They were handled equally (up to 30 min a day, and at least 10,). They both became very tame, and, for the experiment, the indoor raised one went outside, and became a monster, at which point they brought him back inside, and he became a puppy dog again. The outdoor raised one showed no change except getting a little more energetic after going back outside.
