Thank you for your input regarding temperment. I am in the same climatic boat as you. I live in New England...souteastern Massachusetts. That's why I'm searching for interesting and legal reptiles that will hibernate through the winter...even if I must hibernate them indoors in a less harsh environment.

I keep my Arg. tegu and rhino iguana active all winter as they are my house pets. They are great!

Thank you,

Brian
