Oh I still want one. But I'm a college student so I won't be able to handle one for quite some time. I also realize that living in Los Angeles kind of makes it hard to have a tegu as a pet. It seems by everyone's pics/comments on the tegu forum that a tegu would need a backyard to roam around in. I also read from an old tegu book (around 1995 when it was published) that a full grown tegu would require its own room. It even had a instructions on how to modify a bedroom into a tegu cage. I'm not sure how accurate (or if that still applies today) but I don't think I can handle that yet. Maybe in 10 years I'll have my very first one. At the rate I'm going with my snakes (5 snakes in less than 2 weeks) hopefully I can have a tegu by 8 years. I figured grad school or law school should be done by then. In terms of previous pets I've only had 3 dogs (bouveir des flanders, rotweiler, and lab), and goldfishes. I used to catch insects as pets but they would always die in less than a week (bees, wasps, spiders and beetles).
