I'll be heading out to an upcoming reptile show in a few days and I'm trying to settle in on exactly which tegu I should get. I'm looking for one that's particularly smaller, preferably a Blue or Colombian. I'm also considering a female, but I'm a little unsure.

My first question would be about the Columbian tegu; I've heard so many different opinions on whether its tame or naturally aggressive, but it's generally small and costs much less. I don't mind going out and spending a lot for an Argentine, but if there really isn't much of a difference in temperament, I don't see why I shouldn't go for a Colombian.

Also, for unbred females; do they still lay unfertilized eggs? I don't plan on breeding, as I'm looking for just one tegu as a companion. I heard females getting really aggressive when they lay, so it's something I'd want to avoid.

And one more question; I was thinking about going for a Blue tegu, seeing as they're smaller than the B&Ws, but I know they're much more expensive. Do you guys have any price ranges for them, so I could get an idea?

Thanks all in advance!
