I think they may have put the current size in the max size box,

But yeah, 2 foot would be a bit of an understatement for just about any Tegu.

It's like saying a Pacu (fish) will only grow to around 10", which I sawin a tropical fish shop near me a while back. Had to correct the owner and point out that mine are around one year old, and already about 15". they were 3" when I got them.

Really annoys me when people do that.

Yea looks like a bit of an understatement to me. Unfortunately it happens a lot. When I was younger a petstore tried to tell me that their female burmese python would only get 10 feet...12 max. I'm pretty sure he was just saying it to make a sale but honestly who sells a burm to an 11 year old. Luckily I knew better.

Why don't you right the webmaster, and tell him to tighten up his site? :lol:

My guess would have been it was a typo, but...

They claim the Argentine Black & White only gets 3 feet.

I guess someone should email the webmaster a link to this site. :P
