Just wanted to let the "reptile people" in here know that one of my tegus is for sale, check it out in the "buy and sell" forum if you're interested.
Anyone want a blue tegu?

Why thank you....his brother is actually even better looking IMO, but he's not for sale...at least not for less than $600 
The one on the left...the one on the right is the one for sale.

As tame as puppies. Columbian tegus (including the gold phase or so-called "gold tegu") are generally completely untamable, although I have seen exceptions.
The Argentine varieties (Black and Whites, Reds, Blues) are completely different animals. They become very docile with even a minimal amount of human attention. All six of mine love being pet, are house-broken, beg for food, scratch at the door to be let in and out, etc. etc. They are also MUCH more inteligent (which probably makes them so much more tractable) and grow a great deal larger than than columbians.
