Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Have you put up any ads in your area to try and find his owner? He could be someone's beloved pet, he's certainly well fed!

I have posted on all local reptile fourms, posted on Facebook, and getting ready to make some fliers up to put all around the area that we found him in. I would think that he has to be someone's pet. He is very well fed and is not afraid of people at all. So at this point, it is just a waiting game to see if anyone replies. I am so tempted to reach in and pick him up as he shows no aggression at all, but I know an adult tegu, like him, could do some damage.

Yeah, I would err on the side of caution, you don't want to frighten him and get any nasty scratches or a bite. Maybe just hang out with him on the ground for the time being since you don't know whether or not he likes to be lifted up.
They're kind of difficult to fully support up in the air since they're so huge, even the really tame tegus I used to work with would get wiggly once up in the air and I'd end up with some good scratches on my arms.

I have been going and sitting by his cage he acts as if I am not there. I can see why some like tegus so much.

If no one claims him I am going to build him a 6 by 10 enclosure and try and find him a girl friend.
