Yeah one major consideration is time. Beardies are naturally chill, wont bite, will sit with you forever. Doestn matter if you don't give them attention each day or for many days. You can really leave them alone for long periods and it doesnt affect how they feel about you. Tegu's are wired for activity and intelligent, so, just sitting around isnt their thing. I mean they will ....... but for the most part they like to move around, explore and interact with their world. I have no idea what would happen if you ignore or let a tegu go without attention for days or long periods. I guess it just matters on what age and what their personality is. I just know my girl ... and I really feel that if I didnt pick her up every day at least once and spend time with her, she might not want to be around me so much because of her age as well as her temperment. Tegus are a big commitment, in a good way.

[QUOTE="Rebecca Stout, post: 148903, member: 5055"] Yeah one major consideration is time. Beardies are naturally chill, wont bite, will sit with you forever. Doestn matter if you don't give them attention each day or for many days. You can really leave them alone for long periods and it doesnt affect how they feel about you. Tegu's are wired for activity and intelligent, so, just sitting around isnt their thing. I mean they will ....... but for the most part they like to move around, explore and interact with their world. I have no idea what would happen if you ignore or let a tegu go without attention for days or long periods. I guess it just matters on what age and what their personality is. I just know my girl ... and I really feel that if I didnt pick her up every day at least once and spend time with her, she might not want to be around me so much because of her age as well as her temperment. Tegus are a big commitment, in a good way. [/QUOTE]
