Yea, golds can have great coloration. They have incredibly shiny, soft skin and very smooth scales.

Glad more and more people are beginning to appreciate Colombians and are willing to take the time to learn about them and work with them.

They get a bad rap but it's only partly their fault - a lot has to do with their accessibility the low cost associated with that and first-time tegu owners. It makes for a volatile combination that often ends up poorly for the tegu.

For those with experience, or those that just want a little challenge along the way, I highly suggest adding a Colombian to your collection.

They're feisty, active, alert, spontaneous, goofy, fast, agile, prone to get into trouble by just being curious, are often fearless and they're sometimes irritable and let you know it but "huffing".

That said, they're always down right awesome, and of all the tegus we get in the states, they're definitely my favorite.
