So i've been working on this video about Juancha....but as i was putting it all together i though. Why not also try to send a message to all the people who dislikes reptiles without ever have been in contact with one. To make them understand that even a large sized wild captured reptile with strong jaws, teeth and claws can be as tame as a dog.
I know it's far fetched...but i hope it can convert at least a few

Hehehe....I'm glad you all liked it And my progress with Juancha also depended a lot on you guys.....you guided me through the rough first weeks helping me to get her comfy and understand her needs....especially you Sam . So i hope you guys are as happy with how tame she turned out to be as i am.
So basically....without you guys who helped me out, this video wouldn't have been possible to do
So thanks to you all for being here _________________ 0.1.0 Argentine B&W, Juancha

Fantastic video! Where was the scenery of the video shot? Its really interesting how wild tegus look different than captive bred ones (to me anyway). Juancha has such a sleek head; Tango's is kind of boxy in comparison. Thank you for sharing it! _________________ ~Tango's Mom~

Hehehe...trust me Sam...your knowledge and way of helping people is perfect. Will hug Juancha from you tomorrow, i promise
Yes dragonfruit....i've noticed the same...her head is more..."aerodynamic" than the captive bred....must be a genetic thing i reckon. Glad you liked the video. The nature scenes were shot at Galapagos Island. Footage is from a BBC documentary about reptiles Fitted just fine _________________ 0.1.0 Argentine B&W, Juancha
Loved the video!! I am trying to show my dad that reptiles arent all bad!! He has always had a phobia of reptiles! When we lived in texas, it didnt help that we had rattle snakes in the yard here and there. Since moving back home temp after college, he had to take in my reptiles also, he wouldnt even come in my room for a month and a half. Slowly but surely he is making progress and finding out that reptiles arent bad!! Thanks again for taking the time to make the vid!

Thank you i0r ( Chris ) again for the kind words.
cwj108.It's funny what you sad about your dad.My boyfriend's mom was the same way until she got to meet our two baby arg.b/w Tegus ( Leonidas and Zeus ).When she saw me kissing them she felt save enough to pet them.Than she sad " they don't know that they are lizards,do they ) because they like cuddling up with me .Now she loves them.
