Im thinking on getting a black and white tegu or possibly an Ackie but Im just wondering if one has a better personality than the other, as far as aggressiveness or thier social behaviour towards people..

You really can't compare a B & W to an Ackie. An Ackie maxes at about 2ft not even 1lb. A B & W can get 4ft and into the 15-20+lb range. A B & W will be a little cheaper to buy, but will cost alot more for upkeep! Ackies can be kept in a much smaller enclosure. As far as Personality IMO Tegus are smarter, and less flighty! If I were you I would look at Blue Tegus. They don't get near as big as B & W's but still get bigger then an ackie! My female is 3ft+ and about 6lbs, she's 2yrs old so won't be getting any larger. Here is a link to some pics:

She is in the 3 pics on top. The 2 below are of a 2ft male.
