What i did was just handle my tegu every day since i got him. i started off just holding him and let him run through my hands until he calmed down, after about a week got him to the point to where i would let him walk around my bed while i sat there on my laptop, and now he asks to come out by knocking on his cages sliding windows. another thing, im not sure how yours is housed, but ive found a front sliding cage is better than an aquarium style one. when i first got mine i had him in an aquarium style cage, and once i moved him into a front opening cage, his behavior towards me changed dramatically, as well as his activity level. with mine i notice the more i handle him the more he wants to be handled.
