Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Although I'd miss him dearly, like most of my herp collection, for the right price, he could be yours 
Seriously though, as much as I enjoy all of my herps, as far as personality goes, tegus are hard to beat.

Kelli,
Tegus are indeed great pets, but they do require a large enclosure and UVB is required (though there are some who disagree).
They are smart. As EA7770 stated, they can be clicker trained to respond and come to you. I started doing this years ago and have told many people how to do it. It's as simple and clicking the clicker a few times every time you feed them. They will associate the clicker with food and will come to you. They can also learn colors so it's easy to litterbox train them as well using warm water and a specific colored litter bin. If you search the forums you will find many post by me showing how it's done.
Bearded Dragons, Leapord Geckos, etc. are very tolerant of being handled, but tegus are the only reptile I have seen that seeks out human attention. I have a couple videos on the web showing this.
If you want a large lizard and have room.. a tegu is indeed the way to go. Handle it, love it, and don't feed it live rodents (use only frozen/thawed) and your tegu will very likely be calm, mellow and have a very low feeding response.
-------------------
EA7770,
I still love the looks of the boy in the picture. Can't wait to see some updated pics. He must be quite a bit larger by now. Has he thrown you any babys yet?

Rick is correct!! Argentine tegus are the most tame of all reptiles, IMO.
Glad to see you joining us Rick!!

Here's a pic of him from this morning. He's (obviously) in full shed. Have one gravid female from him this season.

He is even better looking now.. I love the short blocky build he has. Was he bred to a blue, an albino or a snow? Can't wait to see pics. Hopefully incubation goes well for you.
