Help with new tegu
 

I have had my tegu for about a week (Arg. B and W). It is appr. 4 weeks old. To begin with we were able to handle it and it was very tame. For the last 3 days, it has been hiding a lot(I went back to work..teacher...so I am not sure if it hides all day) and when we try to get it out to feed it in the afternoon, it gets upset and tries to get away from us. It has been shedding so I have been misting it with water. Is this the reason that it is so testy? Will it get over this and go back to the way it was after it is finished shedding? It still has an appetite.

That could be the reason. It will calm back down.
