    the name i cant really help you with.

    but the key to "potty training" is routine. i started with my kitchen because it is old crappy linoleum. he would go every day after his dinner. one day he even climbed out of his tank and walked from my bedroom to the kitchn to go lol. I am going to start working with a rubbermaid bathroom. after each meal i will soak him in a rubbermaid full of warm water. (this usually releases the bowels) after a week or two of that i will slowly phase out the water and just leave the rubbermaid out, and place him in it at his usual time. eventually he will learn that this is the place to go...

    P.S. Never underestimate the intelligence of a tegu, i have never seen a reptile as smart as them. If your cage does not have a lock on the outside you can almost bet they will escape eventually. I actually watched my male try to open his door the other day. he investigated it for ever, at one point he was standing on his back legs with his belly on the glass, trying to find a way to open it. it was cool. but then i let him out

    I have only had one tegu and his name was spaz. I do use some okay names for my monitors though.
    heres a small list

    rex, drako (means dragon), gator, helios (sun god), Zeus, Dino, jaws, etc.
    There are cool names in Greek and Roman mythologhy for the gods and beast.
    Have fun with your tegu
