Re: First Tegu
From my constant reading and talking to people with tegus
I'd say go for an Argentine Black and White Tegu rather than a Monitor.
I will hopefully be getting an Arg. BW soon.
Take a look at TheTegu.com and TeguTalk.com Lot's of good info there.

Re: First Tegu
If you want something to "handle" any T. Teguixin (gold and colombians) wont be that animal. Argentine Tegus would be the way to go for a more handlable lizard (in general) than any varanid.

Re: First Tegu
Reds inhabit argentina but they are a different species (Tupinambis rufescens) than the black and white (T. merinae) Both would make better "hold em" lizards than a Colombian
