Winston the Tegu Wants Attention

Info from Licensor: "Winston, the tegu, enjoys attention as much as he can get. I wanted to see how he would react if I didn't pay attention to him and instead, played a game. When I wasn't paying attention to him, he got bored or bummed and left. Tegus are highly intelligent animals and I want to show people their behaviors and personalities. Just because they are cold blooded doesn't mean they can't be intelligent enough to want human interaction. I thought this was a good example to show that he was hoping to get attention from me and when he didn't, he left. They don't always want body heat, sometimes they just want to interact with you."
