I am a member/officer (webmaster, don't really do much) of my college's Herpetology Club. This past Saturday we went to a local Elementary school for their science fair. We brought our own pets from home for the kids to see, pet, and play with. I brought my Columbian Tegu, Tegusaurus Rex. He was an absolute sweetie, never once got upset with all the kids grabbing him and handling him. There must have been about 800-900 kids that came by to see the animals, and they certainly didn't always handle them gently and carefully, but Teggie never once did more than a halfhearted squirm to get away. I had brought him in a small carrier with a pillowcase inside and I left it out for him to retreat in if he felt the need, but he stayed out walking around the majority of the four hours. I was so proud of him for being good and proving that you can have a nice tame Columbian tegu. ^_^
By the way, I might have picture proof to show you later. My friend brought her camera. I just have to wait for her to post them on facebook In the mean time here is a picture of my little guy (the black and white one):
