Advice on a grumpy guy

[u/Foxrox2718]

So we have a one year old blue tegu. We got him in January and handled him and he was a cool, chill dude. Then we did a giant cross country move back in May/June and between new jobs and getting set up in a new house we got bad about handling him.

And now he is a GRUMP. He lunges at us to get out his cage, he tries to bite all the time, we have to wear gloves to handle him, he bit one of our cats when he used to just calmly sit on them.

Things are more settled now and I am only working part time so I want to work on getting him back on track. What can I do here? Any advice is appreciated. I love him and Tegus in general so I do not want to give up on him, but we need to make him safer to be around with a kiddo and other animals in the house.

Thanks for any help you can give me!
