I have a Colombian Black & White, who I've had for 9 months & who is about 2 1/2 ft long. I have handled him almost every single day since getting him, and he is very tame. I just let him tell me when he doesn't want to be held anymore, and don't try to force anything on him. We have a routine we try to stick to, and it works well. I wouldn't trade him for any other tegu; he is my baby!! People told me all kinds of nasty things about Colombians when I got him, and I just ignored them and did what I always have done with my reptiles...regular and gentle handling.
