Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 10:42 pm    Post subject: yes they seems to be good pets, as the worker in the petshop told me, they are very tame. But I am going to read more information about them because petshop are always trying to sell anything they can. I go one time in a petshop, I ask if he had a Tegu, he answered me, ohhh no Tegu are so nasty and agressive. I was like What's the problem ( I am usually on a forum where people tell me that they are so adorable pet ). However, I am going to get more information about it. _________________ Ben3233 0.0.1 Bearded Dragon (Uresaii) Back to top bubbasherps Respected Member Joined: Dec 16, 2005 Posts: 476 Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 11:22 pm    Post subject: agree i agree with you pet shops here sell baby gator to 14 year old telling them they dont grow over 2 feet how wrong they are i get alot of rescues because of it jeff _________________ TEGUS TEGUS AND MORE TEGUS Back to top Ben3233 Senior Member Joined: Nov 04, 2007 Posts: 824 Location: Canada, Québec, Pointe-Calumet.
