For some reason I can't edit my last post.

I'm sure you've already done plenty of reading in theTegu.com Mike (BWTeguNewb).

Yessir I have!

I love the Chatroom they have there I'm in there everyday!

She should be arriving in about 20 Minutes.

Alright, she arrived just fine! What impressive animals these guys are...Snapped a few shots, gave her a bath and into the enclosure she went.

Thanks! I will have more pictures on the way, along with the enclosure she is getting made for her! A huge 8x3x30" Boamaster.

You can see in the picture how pooped she is from her trip.

AWESOME!!!!! are these guys agressive at all? and how big do they average, I'm assuming pretty big based on that cage size mentioned above.

[8b8ll]

Argentine Black & White Tegu may reach the ultimate length of upto 4.25 feet for adult males, less for females.

She is not aggresive at all, well at least today she wasn't. Some tegus can be yes, but this is the "tamest" species of Tegus. I'm hoping to "tame" her down lots with one on one work.

Here is some good reading and videos (not mine) showing how tame they can be:

^ Go to taming the Beast. This man is also a great breeder.
