This just came to me. All tegus are docile,intelligent,human loving lizards . But each species shows it in a different manner.
Argetines are laidback and are pretty active.But they also have go crazy moments(When a lizard just starts running around)
Columbians are extrmeally active this is why they hate being handled but they are just as nice as other tegus they just show it in a different manner , have you ever held a active lizard they just jump out of your hand.
This is all based on opinon. Feel free to add your own detail and comment on this.
I am getting my first tegu at a pet store this friday. But every tegu has a personality like you and me. And treat all tegus as if they where family members. This also goes out for all reptiles.
Their is no true mean lizard out there, just mistunderstood.
This only covers Captive breed lizards. Wild caught lizards are more aggresevie than captive breeds and can die very easy in capivtiy. Only very expericed keepers should keep wild caughts.
