And it's a love too. Lets the grandkids hold and pet it too (under close supervision). I consider them the ultimate in pet lizards. The only problem is after they are tame, they don't display the blue tongue.

That is interesting, so is the display of the blue tongue a defense mechanism?

Yes, though you do see it when they are tasteing food and exploring but it is quick. I have yet to get of picture of the tongue on any of my three.
