so just got the girlfriend a cb baby argentine,i have an adult female i have had for 7 years...
this baby is feisty!!!never did either of the argentines i have owned,ever showed ANY sign of aggression...she's crazy.
here's the wierd part...she rattles her tail!
i assume this is for the same reason colubrids do...is it?this is another display i have never seen from any teiid...

Mine has done that before too. I thought it was hilarious when he rattled his tail. The one time he did it was when he was upset. He was really young then and he hasn't ever did it since.
