out of the huge variety of animals i work with gold tegus are the most rewarding.
Even though they're evil. However The other day i made a VERY painful mistake w/ a golden tegu. First off have you ever heard the phrase " there are three types of people in the world: Those who learn from books those who learn from others and those who just have to pee on the electric fence themselves" Well im the third type, and since i got my first golden tegu they told me to always wear very very thick gloves when you handle goldens. i listened. For awail.
Well last friday i finally no gloved it w/ an aggresive juvie. worst herpotology mistake EVER!!!!! it resulted in profuse bleeding and he held my finger and wouldent let go for 14 mins!!!!! OOUUUCCHHH!!!!
so, if you have a columbian black and gold tegu please us your better judgment and resist the temptation to go gloveless!
