If so what kind...I havent heard of many daring enough to buy a Gold Tegu....

I am getting an Argentine B&W Tegu June 2nd and cannot WAIT! IF they dont have any I will probasbly hold off....but if they dont and they DO have a Red I will definately get one.


IF you own a Tegu post some pics that would be awesome.

THanks, this was just a friendly thread to talk about your Tegus:)

I had 1.1 red and 2.1 Argentina black and white. Both have fast feeding response, even more when they are young.

a friend of mine "had" a gold tegu.
but his gf had a baby a few months ago.. needless to say she made sure he got rid of it once the baby arrived.

we have a 1.1 Red Tegus. they are very good males feeding response is wild! but the female is very gentle.

We have had a golden tegu before and will probably never again Scotty got 3 of hi knuckles of his hand bitten by a big one was a very unpleasant experience. The tegu just never wanted to let go just kept on chomping down harder and harder.
