Its old scientific name (synonym) was Tupinambis nigropunctatus, but it has since renamed to Tupinambis teguixin.[1] Gold tegus grow to be about 2 to 3 ft (60 to 100 cm) long on average, and up to 3.5 to 4.0 kg in weight, with a glossy body, powerful limbs, and a thick tail.[3] They have many black and gold stripes down their bodies. Gold tegus live in the tropical forests of northern and central South America, as well as Panama. They feed on insects, invertebrates, small mammals, reptiles, and birds, as well as fish and sometimes fruit. They typically do not make as good a pet as their larger southern relatives, the Argentine black and white tegu or the Argentine red tegu, but if handled frequently, they can make a good pet. ==References== 1. ^1 {{NRDB species|genus=Tupinambis|species=teguixin|accessdate=15 May 2014}} 2. ^Wildherps.com 3. ^http://www.oni.escuelas.edu.ar/2001/corrientes/conocer-para-conservar/lagarto.htm
