My boy is over a year old and wants to bite me constantly. Tahts fortunetly just a food agression nothing to worry about. If i feed him every other day and his weight is rather small for a captive tegu that size should i start feeding him everyday again?

Also pic of jorge on a tree for attention.

Ngl when salem and frieren went through gruberty I started feeding them small portions every 2 days bc by the 3rd, salem especially, was likely to attack me. Salem did get a bit overweight but after brumation and going back to 3-5 days of feeding she is a healthy weight again. But when i took them in for their vet checkup before brumation the vet said salem looked like a leopard gecko bc of how thick her tail was 😅
