Has anyone noticed their Tegu become more crabby or irritable when they are shedding? My little guy and I were doing really well, but then today he bit me like a million times. I thought maybe it was becuase he was shedding?

Nienna gets easily annoyed when Shedding, but never gets to the point where she bites, I've never had her bite for any other reason than food. Like when she's shedding she will get huffy when not allowed on my head/shoulders, when put in the tub, when I don't let her do/go where she wants to by picking her up and moving her away.

Amigo gets huffy around shedding time too, but he has never even attempted to bite anyone. He just gets kinda inpatient, and doesnt want to follow the rules PMS-ish!! lol
