Very nice they’ve become 1 of the must have reptiles in Ireland.

S/he is adorable! I love tegus. I really wish I had the space for one, they seem like such awesome lizards.

I suppose if I were willing to get rid of my cats, my chinchilla, and my blood python, and was willing to have a tegu be my only large/space-demanding pet (the sand boa could stay, since she fits on top of my dresser), I could probably accommodate its needs in my current condo…but I don’t want one badly enough to give up the animals I already have and love. And if I give them the space they need to thrive, I don’t have room for an adult tegu.
But if I ever get a bigger place, or can afford my current place without renting out the second bedroom, then tegu here I come! In the mean time, I’ll just live vicariously through those who can accommodate them. 
Edit: do you think I should tell my roommate that I’m already making plans to turn her bedroom into a tegu room?

We do have a lovely storage closet under the stairs. And a tiny attic. I don’t think she’d mind if I moved her into one of those so I could commandeer her room for a tegu. That seems like a perfectly viable solution to me.

Yes, you should propose that idea to her.

Nice!! Tegus are so, well, so TEGU! Doesn’t that kinda sum it up? I don’t suppose I’ll ever have one but I do enjoy them vicariously.

I can well imagine. I’ve read that they can be…opinionated. Tegus have special people, as it really takes a special level of commitment. I hope you’ll keep us posted as he grows.
