How bad can taming a columbian be?

[Stormi]

hello, I'm looking forward to getting my first tegu and I was planning on getting a argentine one but the columbians are smaller and a little cheaper. I planned on handling him/her very often because it's my dream animal and it will be my baby. I figured as much as I plan on handling it would it be any different to get a columbian?

columbians have a bad rep and for somewhat a good reason. they can be tamed but it takes A LOT of work but as do argentines. columbians are cheaper because they are wild caught i would go argentine

I agree with Jacobreptiles. Either way, good luck.
