I agree with Rant, and Stephen....once you're ready, (spatially as well as mentally) it's better to think Tegu because it can be a rough go in the first 2 years.  It's a crap shoot trying to know how a young Tegu will be in it's first couple years.  I've had both.  Satan's Spawn, and The Peach.  Both were worth the effort, but if you get a little sweet one that turns into Satan, you'll wonder what you ever saw in them.  Then, you need the patience of Job, and you shouldn't give up.   You'll want to.


Anyone who thinks they're the most awesome animals as you do, should def own one.  Look at as a journey, and keep in touch with others on this forum so you can keep yourself together.  We get panicked owners almost every day. There's lots to read!!  (You need a bigger place - I felt the pinch in my 2500 sf home!!)
