I can understand the basics of why they're considered "more aggressive", but in practical terms; not so.

I'm not sure how it is in the states, but the Tegu's I have seen in the UK are all CB and if an animal has never witnessed it's "predators" and can become understanding and positively responsive to it's owner; I couldn't understand how one sub-species could vary from another. I'm sure if you never handled, only fed live and generally mistreated a Argentine B&W the'd love to take a shot at you.

Were they skittish as Juvi's? Cataleya is on and off, sometimes she is absolutely golden (blak and gold? waaay) but other times she loves to take a crack at me...
