man o man, i've just read through some of the posting and if i had read those a year ago i don't think i would have gotten a Tegu, lol. Its true reptiles do not like to be handled in general but my tegu is very curious and loves exploring or just chillin on my lap. As for growth rate, fast is an understatment, i currently have a blue tegu and his been averaging about a half a foot a month and is finally slowing down... alittle. I did have to build his own cage but there are a few commercial cages on the market. In all fairness compared to other reptiles tegus aren't too bad to take care of, the main demain in food. With snakes and some large monitors you may get away with feeding once or twice a week... do that to a tegu and he'll be made at ya like no other. So feeding and caging are the main conserns and cost behind a tegu. Oh and not all columbians are mean... go back to thetegu.com and ask Ameviaboy about his columbian named Goo, his proff not all columbian tegus are mean. So waiting is a good thing but don't let people here scare ya too much.
