ain't it fun a baby teju
One thing though..
I think I read that its a baby tegu, in my opinion, letting a small teju that ain't fully 'tame' run wild in the room doesn't look to smart to me, you got catch it at some point and the change you scare the hell out of it is big. So next time it makes sure to stay even further away
I made mine's cage smaller so I don't have to chase it to grab it, until its fully trusting me. _________________

Some people call it a "Death roll" because it's what gators/crocs do when they grab meat and rip it from a body. They grab and roll until they get bite size chunks. Thus the name death roll. Tegus will occasionally do the same thing but not to rip food from a larger source, it's normally just to get free of a good grasp.
Can't wait to see the new pics. Again, I am glad you found the lost tegu.
