reds

what about the black and whites? do they tame down? and would i be better off getting a baby or a sub adult. i was looking on agama international and i can get one from his 2002 stock and it will be around 2-3 feet long.

but im not sure if i want a red or a B&W.. what are the pros and cons of each. i would rather hear it from people who own them rather than read about it in a care sheet.

red tegus get biiiiig, b/w get medium, reds eat more fruit, b/w eat more meat, they are both tame. your disision.

You really can't go wrong with any one of them. There are only minor differences in husbandry and, if raised properly, minor if any differences in personality. Go with your preference in appearances. Personally I prefer the looks of the Blues. There is so much more contrast in their color and patterns.
