The most horrible thing happend on Saturday, I went to Petland (To play with ferret and Chinchillas, I wasn't buying nothing ) And saw a Gold tegu in a 20 gal. This guy was a bit longer than the tank, but at least they had substrate for him to burrow in. Anyways, this small boy (8-10 years) came running up to the tank, dragging his mom screaming 'I want that one!' And she asks him how big it gets, and he responds with 'It doesn't get bigger, can I get it?' Well I turn around and tell her Tegus are a big responsibility, and her young child would probably not be able to take of it, then she gave me this odd look. I then explained to her that whatever pet her son wants she should do research on it first. Instead they went over and bought a baby Sulcatta(sp?) Tortoise. What can I say, I tried.
