This poor guy has had (2) homes already, and didn't last in either.

One owner said he was too aggressive, the other said he was too big and ate too much.

?

Sounds like a tegu!

Anyways, to make a long story short, I've been checking him out over the last month at our local reptile shop (where's he's been sold and refunded 2x).

When the owners of the shop let me hold him, I really liked his laid back style. Tame as can be...I mean, totally mellow and calm. He eats right out of your hand, and for being 6-8 months old, he must be extremely used to, and quite tolerable of, people.

Sunday they informed me that the 3rd buyer who had a deposit on him backed out - so now, he has a new home...With a new enclosure...

This colombian is totally NOT like one in that, he isn't flighty, nervous, aggressive, won't huff, no attitude - none of that...It's an a-typical colombian from what I've seen, and aside from that, he's just cool as hell...Nothing spooks him and he'll lay on me like my arg. that's 5 years his elder...It's crazy how different their personalities are.
