There are rarely instances of Red's becoming aggressive unless they haven't been handled throughout their growing. Most of the literature regarding aggressive Tegu's comes from people having Columbian Tegus. My red is like a big baby and is 57" and 25lbs.
Each Tegu has their own personality, but with proper handling when they are small, I would find it difficult for any Argentine Tegu to become aggressive.

>>I have been researching red tegus and love them. The only problem is that I have read great things about them and then not so great things. I definitly do not want to deal with the aggresiveness. I do not mind them being pissy until they get used to me. I understand that. What I do not want is a 4 foot giant trying to rip my fingers off. I do not want to try to handle them and they try to bite. Reading the good stuff encourages me, but reading the negative stuff really discourages me. I tend to be drawn to the tegus and monitors. So chameleons are out of the question, lol. PLEASE HELP...
