On a note of size. I realize that size is different for each individual. Every human is a different size, as are animals. I know a friend who has a 62 lbs female snapping turtle. I think that's also 18-19" carapace length. That's bigger than many males!

So I'm not going to be upset if my tegu doesn't get to be 5', I would just like to stack the odds in my favor for getting a bigger guy.

So really, my top thoughts, in order would be.

1. Temper - I'm looking for easy to get along with. I realize that some days we feel grumpy, so I can easily deal with that, but for the most part an individual that is happy enough to spend time with us out of their home.

2. Size - As mentioned, I would like a larger gu. I have enough small lizards, and miss my large dinosaur like friends. So that's merely a preference.

3. Color - This isn't that important, but I enjoy the high whites, and bright colors in some of them. Both the AA and the Extreme have interesting colors.

It is fun to consider all the options regarding tegus, the main thing after choosing a tegu is to draw up plans for the cage

[QUOTE="Virus, post: 95777, member: 2825"] On a note of size. I realize that size is different for each individual. Every human is a different size, as are animals. I know a friend who has a 62 lbs female snapping turtle. I think that's also 18-19" carapace length. That's bigger than many males! So I'm not going to be upset if my tegu doesn't get to be 5', I would just like to stack the odds in my favor for getting a bigger guy. So really, my top thoughts, in order would be. 1. Temper - I'm looking for easy to get along with. I realize that some days we feel grumpy, so I can easily deal with that, but for the most part an individual that is happy enough to spend time with us out of their home. 2. Size - As mentioned, I would like a larger gu. I have enough small lizards, and miss my large dinosaur like friends. So that's merely a preference. 3. Color - This isn't that important, but I enjoy the high whites, and bright colors in some of them. Both the AA and the Extreme have interesting colors. It is fun to consider all the options regarding tegus, the main thing after choosing a tegu is to draw up plans for the cage :P [/QUOTE]
