Your son did fine...There are lots of really tame red tegus. It's all a matter of investing time in your animal. The more time and respect you and your son invest in your tegu, the tamer your lizard will be. Black and whites, blues, reds---it's pretty much the same thing. The ONLY tegus that tend to be more difficult to tame are the Colombians. But even then, in the last couple years, I've corresponded with a handful of folks who even have tame Colombian--because they invested a lot of time in their animals.

The early days are KEY, though. Let him settle in for a few days, but begin the handling / familiarizing / taming process after that. To be honest, all of this info and MUCH more, from a variety of quality sources and keepers, can be found at

www dot tegutalk dot com --EVERYTHING I've ever learned about tegus has come from that site and forum. THE most helpful bunch of reptile folks I've come across in 20 years of keeping reptiles. I highly suggest you go there, introduce yourself, and look around. The information available is amazingly helpful. Good luck!
