    How are the Colombians? I see so many people complain about there aggressiveness but I feel like they out grow that with handling.

    From my parents experience, the colombians my parents have are very easy handle(no aggression at all) all the time except food time. When it is food time(when they see my mother come with food for them) they become very aggresive. Their eyes become different, the pupil becomes extrem small.
    When they have finished their food, they become themselfes again.
    She have had them for 14 years, and still they are like that when its food time.

    Your welcome . Did your parents ever try to bring the Tegus to the food and not the food to the Tegus ? Do they feed them inside the enclosure ?

    Your welcome . I have been feeding our Tegus in the bathtub for years now. I put the food in the tub and then put the Tegu or our black throat monitor in the tub. When they are done eating I rinse them off. This way if they have any food stuck on their toes it doesn't get on the mulch. Sometimes when the food gets on the mulch and they are hungry they might eat the mulch. This could lead to impaction. Another reason why I like feeding them in the tub is that when I rins them off the poop. This will keep the enclosure cleaner longer. A lot of people say that a black throat monitor isn't as easy to tame as a tegu. Here in my video you can see how tame a lizard can be when you bring it to the food. Well I did it for a while to where I hand feed them.
