There are some adults, and some subadults. They do get very big. Here is a pic of one of my large males.

Are females smaller then males? i really want one, but that male looks a little too big for me ( im 14). DO you HAVE to feed incests, or can i just do lots of mice and turcky and chicken and fish+ fruit?

The females are smaller than the males.

You can feed things instead of insects. Read my care sheet on this forum. I hope it helps.

I love my tegus, and my bigger female tegu loves to be around me, she taps on the door of her cage when she wants out (basically when I come home and if I'm sitting there). Then I let her out and she will come up and either lay by me, or if I'm moving around in my room, she will follow me. Also when I take her outside she will follow me around. They are great. -Art-

That video is absolutely incredible! I realize tegus are pretty friendly, but is that kind of behaviour really representative of all B&W tegus or are those guys uniquely personable animals?

No not all B n W tegus, Colombian tegus do not get this tame. They are also called black n white tegus. But are not the true Argentine tegus. Argentine tegus can and do get this tame. If they are handled correctly, they will become dog tame as seen in this video. I have some that are more like a puppy than a reptile.
