james.w said:I agree they could have mentioned the positives of a Tegu as a pet. The problem is if people are getting tegus as pets and releasing them into the wild, it is going to turn into a problem.
rhetoricx said:I was frustrated, poor tegu was hungry! I agree that not everyone should own a tegu and wild tegus can differ in temperament but at the same time it would be nice for AP to do some kind of show that shows reptiles in a more positive light.

Think about it that type of video will frighten people which then leads to people wanting to severly limit what keepers can keep. Look at the ban wanted on pythons even up where I live where they could not survive. My neighbor approached me in my small town furious because my husband mentioned to him I had a ball python. His wife is worried to leave the house. I once had a great relationship with my neighbor now they won't even speak to me. They should have shown how that guy would have been even more disfigured if he had split up a fight between to dogs. He would have lost more than the top of his finger. These people who are releasing them into the wild like that are the root of the problem so irresponsible.
