I just purchased a Colombian Tegu today. The man at the reptile specialist was very straight forward in telling me that they were more prone to being aggressive than the Argentine.
I was hoping with enough handling I could manage to keep him docile, but from all the posts I've read there don't seem to be many success stories.
As of right now he is fairly calm. He doesn't mind being handled besides one escape attempt, but he didn't get far and he was fine with me picking him up again.
So far I am happy with my purchase, but would like to know if there are any people out there who have had their Tegu from adolescence to adulthood that are still friendly and not aggressive.
Anything would help. Thank you.
