So guys I showed a co worker a pic of my red tegu and he said want made u want that thing lol. Honestly the first time I saw a tegu I thought it was ugly and I so pic of bites and the damage they could do. So I was a little turned off. But after doing more research I saw how a properly keep and socialized tegu behaved and decided.to take on the challenge of becoming a tegu owner.

Now my reasons
1. Size. I had a huge green iguana all though high school that love so owning a big another big lizard was welcomed challenge.

2. Temperament. Other then the puberty if u respect their space in my experience tegus r really calm and laid back.

3. Bonding/intelligence. It nothing like having a 3 to 4 foot lizard follow u around.

That's just a few of mine. Pls share
