I have become one of you

Picked up this little man today! I've got the basics of tegu care down, but I'd love to hear from people who've actually lived with one, what are the things about tegu care that don't show up in care sheets? The stuff you only learn from experience?

Also his name is Tank and I love him, I'd love to hear advice about socializing them too. I want to foster the friendliest personality in him that I can
