Why Tegus Are Better Than Savannah Monitors

Today, I talk about my interesting experiences with my Savannah monitor, the brand new red tegu, and just how different they are as species.

Savannahs: now is always my chance to escape.
Tegus: now is my time to be held.

Don't feel pressured to keep you savannah monitor if you dont enjoy keeping her. sure you might get hate for rehoming her but she might be better off with a different owner. this tegu seems very friendly and you might have a better chance with it.

My friend has a tegu named Andre the Giant and he likes being rocked in our arms like a baby

You´re doing a great job as a youtuber. I have no interest in reptiles whatsoever and I still can´t stop watching your videos.

I was like ‘oh that’s interesting, he’s giving out his number.’ But then I don’t even know what I’d do with that information. Send you photos of my dog? Idk. I don’t even have any reptiles.

Tegus are like the dream lizard. I can't wait til I have to space to keep one.

Bonnibell : I hate you almost as much as I did when you first got me.
Tegu : Imma gunna mlem this mater

[emilywalker]

If you don't cave and keep this Tegu I'll fight someone for him 👀

[kiaravergara]

Tegu: lizard
Savannah monitor: sicko mode lizard

You say you can't keep the tegu...but what if you sold the Savannah monitor instead...

I remember reading that a lot of monitors only seem ‘tame’ or ‘calm’ because they’re actually just unenergised and lethargic.

The first 30 seconds is like a Dad filming all the cute things his son does vs dealing with the eldest problem child

I feel he should have mentioned that Tegus have adapted to survive in Florida as an invasive species & they r a big problem. Very important not to release an unwanted tegu outside country of origin.

I love that lil tegu dude. I wish you could keep him, I need lil tegu dude in my life. Forever living vicariously through YouTubers 😶

We had a sav for nearly a decade and he was the most amazing pet we ever had. He roamed around the house with our cats, was incredibly friendly and super easy to handle. He'd just open his mouth and let us put the food in when we hand-fed him. He was housetrained and incredibly clever and playful. We spent a LOT of time handling him and taming him. Savs can be incredibly difficult, some of them never like being handled at all. Ours was tame like a puppy, but that doesn't mean all of them get like that. They require a ton of effort and attention. Getting tailwhipped by one can be pretty nasty. Ours only ever attacked when he was a baby and then completely stopped, but I've seen adult savs, which didn't want anyone near them at all. My point is, savannah monitors can be incredible, they can be fun, tame, even social and playful. They can also be total jerks.

Tegus seem to have much more of a modern mammalian brain, They sometimes seem to really enjoy touch and they are amazingly easy to clicker train. Tegus are amazing. Please keep him.

Obviously you can make your own decisions, but you look a hell of a lot happier with the tegu (as opposed to Bonnibel), and I hope that soon you're at a point in your life when you can keep one.

tegus are native to where i live, sounthern Brazil
they may attack, but in general they are super friendly wild guys and are commonly feed by people and even petted!
but it's illegal to keep one, even if captive bred
