I need help....PLEASE! After several weeks of reading about at least 50 reptile options, I am leaning towards a Tegu. Problem is there is so much conflicting info. From either an ignorant pet store employee, or a bias breeder just trying to sell what they got. I need valuable insight from someone who has real firsthand knowledge with multiple types of Tegus. Here is what I want most:
1. Disposition- Easily tamed, intelligent, calm, and least aggressive. I have small children, and this will be my first large reptile. I have been told the B&W Argentine is #1 for these things. Is that right?
2. Appearence- I like the look of the red, blue, or albino's, and would prefer to not have the largest Tegu out there. Though if that the one with the best disposition than that is what I want. So I guess I am wondering can I have the look and the temperment? Or am I wrong on the Tegus in general? Partially right? or What? HELP!
