Thinking of getting a tegu

I've been thinking of getting a tegu but need more some info on it. I've gone through thetegu.com and agama intl but still feel like I need more info on them. I have three main concerns as having them as pets.
1. Are they friendly? Do they like to be handled a lot? Are they playful?
2. How fast do they grow? I'm interested in the smaller tegus (Columbian black & white and maybe the blue tegu) and will most likely get the columbian b&w.
3. Are they hard to take care of? I've been reading a lot of their maintenance and they don't seem that bad to me, but I want more input from those who have them as pets.

Thanks!
