So today is my columbian tegu's 1rst birthday. I decided I would join the forum as celebration. I've been lurking in the shadows for a while lol. So my Darwin was 2 months old when I got him and he was almost at the 6 inch mark. He is now almost 3 feet long and still growing!!! When I got Darwin the pet shop warned me that these are aggressive and recommended a bts or beardie instead. I've heard this a lot about this species, but I don't understand why they have the bad rep... He's more tame than my cats!!!
