I think this question would depend on what if anything you are use to keeping. If you are comparing it with a boa i would say that boas are about a 3 and tegus are about an 8 just due to the daily pooping and cleaning and feeding and uvb and dusting of calicuim and D3. But if you are comparing Tegus with like Water monitors or Argus Monitor i would say that Tegus would be about a 5... i dont know, compared to my Boas they are a lot more work, but compared to other monitors i have HEARD that they are much nicer/easier to work with.. soo i guess it depends on your experiances...

Sincerely
Rose Hipskind
