I agree it can be funny when people mistake tegus for other things, but if you read through this thread a bit you will see plenty of posts saying those people are stupid, morons, ignorant, etc. I understand the definition of ignorant, but I believe it is being used in a negative in the posts in this thread. There are plenty of words that have simple meanings, but can also be very offensive when used a certain way.

How many people on this forum have walked beside a tegu in the the wild?? I guarantee less than 5% of the members have had the pleasure. There are millions of things examples that could be given as far as things some people know a lot about and others know very little. Like I have said when you take an interest in something you learn about it, if you aren't interested, you don't.

How many posts have there been about members of this forum asking whether a tegu was an Argentine or Columbian? How many members have bought Columbian tegus when they thought they were buying Argentines? These people are interested in reptiles ( tegus specifically) and still could not properly identify them. What does that tell you about this entire subject??
