Very nice tegu.
You will be very pleased they are almost comical at times. I do know of a few that have tamed down.
Enjoy

Mine are getting better! I have been working with them every time they are out. They are a great lizard to own, not terribly active but that probably changes with age once they are secure enough in their size. I can not understand why Tegu's in general aren't more popular. In your pic it looks like it has two plates (scales) between the eye and the nose scales is that right? If so it is probably not a golden.

I have a B&W tegu, he is very docile. The only time he is not so happy to see you is if you have to dig him out (he likes to burrow under the substrate....ignores any hides in the cage). Your tegu should be pretty tame as long as you handle him gently, don't over restrain him, and don't over do it during any one session.

Blk & whts are but not goldens. Goldens are spastic little guys that need a lot of time and effort to tame. They are very quick to bite and I do suggest restraining them well. As it is very difficult to catch up with a loose one. It is funny how they ignore hides isn't it. They always prefer to dig under some piece of cage furniture.
