This is my Columbian Golden Tegu. Between my Daughter-in-law, who is from Columbia, and I, we finally came up with an appropriate name. In parts of their natural range, they are called tiger lizards, so we decided El Tigre would be appropriate. Now, this guy is ornery, athletic, and fast. The other day, when I was getting his food bowl, he suddenly ieaped out of his enclosure and gave me a hell of run for my money trying to recapture him.
