I saw one for sale at last weeks reptile show down here in south florida. It was HUGE! They've been trying to sell it for the past 3 shows, but i guess no luck. I wish somebody would buy it, they kept it in a 2ft long critter cage and she was about 4ft long. I think they wanted $300 for it. I forgot the name of the reptile store, but i know they are located in Hollywood, Fl.
Hope it helps.

Cool, thanks a lot guys. I sent them an email. I'm a little worried about housing a 4ft long red with my smaller blue though. Any thoughts about whether or not that might work?

id watch out if your feeding them in the cage. my friend had his tegu try eating his smaller one (smaller one had a mouse) and he managed to pull it out of the bigger ones mouth (smaller ones alright, incredibly friendly now!). id just keep a close eye on them
