My son and his mother purchased a red tegu at a reptile show this weekend. He's very small about 15". I have one question and I have been reading alot about tegus. Is there a difference in attitude with reds vs black and whites. Some people say there's no difference it depends on the tegu and they're both docile and can be tamed. Others say they're much more shy and very skittish. Still others say they're more aggressive. Can someone shed some light on this for me. My son has been wanting a tegu for awhile and I wanted to wait for a blue. Now we have this red one. Did he make a mistake? Space doesn't matter to me. I have plenty of room. I just want a docile and tame tegu. My son is 14 and I will help him in taming the little guy.
