Fun fact a lot of monitor lizard species have the intelligence and playfulness as a dog Edit yes I know he isn’t a monitor lizard he just reminded me of that fact

The lizard is beautiful, and what a beautiful bond with the grandmother.

Tegus can absolutely be very affectionate pets. Look at this and tell me that reptiles cannot feel love.

Beautiful … Love comes in many forms, Blue gives new meaning to “emotional support animal” 🦎

Grandma’s boy.

Blue is a very good example on how large reptiles can be just as loving as a dog or cat.

If you told someone you had a pet and his name was Blue, they would probably picture a HOUND DOG in their mind. Imagine their reaction when a giant lizard approached them and was as just as affectionate as any dog!

And you all thought Jurrasic World was fake. We've got Chris Pine and Blue right here and it's just as adorable.

It took him a little bit of time to warm up to you because he did not feel well. You take such good care of him. It is nice to see this bond.

I live in south of Brazil and the heavy rains over here flooded the entire state (the state is the size of Italy and the whole disaster is worse than Katrina and the death toll is on the rise and it will get worse after the water level drops) and everybody should know what's going on over here. There are thousands of people working non-stop and around the clock rescuing humans and animals (from dogs/cats to pigs, horses, chickens and so on) and we're getting donations from all over the country and over the world. There's one rescuer you should feature, she's Deise Falci and she's been rescuing animals with a small motorboat with lots of volunteers and lots of others are making this huge effort to rescue animals even with firemen discouraging the rescue of pets.

That's the coolest lizard or dragon? I can't tell!! Doesn't matter, Blu is beautiful!!!! 💙🩵

Before anyone goes and rush out to buy a tegu and expecting they all turn out like this I can assure you the reality is very different. They are all individuals but majority of tegus are not this affectionate. They are more like cats than dogs in personality, they come when they feel like it which is usually when they want food or they will come to you for protection if they feel threatened😂(when taken outside at the park and there are other dogs and humans around). I have two tegus, one raised from a juvenile and can tell you with much experience they do calm down as they get older but most will never act puppy dog like. They will hang out with you on the couch and may cuddle up to you if it’s cooler in the room, they tolerate us more than anything. Mine lets me cuddle up to her and pat her all over but she is just as happy to be left alone if not more happy😂. As juveniles they are prone to biting because they are food aggressive and easily mistake your hand/fingers as food, if you buy any animal expect to get bitten by them at one point or another. Training them and wearing gloves during feeding so they don’t associate your hands with food will help. I am writing this long message because I have seen it happen quite a few times, people dumping their tegus because it had bitten them. Saying they are aggressive etc etc… in fact these people have unknowingly trained their tegus to bite them because when they go to feed them, the tegus will try to bite cause they go food crazy and usually the thing that comes into nearest contact are hands, then these people still throw in the food for their tegus. Soon the tegus associates biting them with getting food, you see where I’m going with this. It’s equal to rewarding a dog for bad behaviour. For anyone considering getting a tegus after watching this video please take all above points mentioned before buying one.

I love the ending with Grandma doing her nails on the couch with Blue watching.

What a cute precious boy! Lotta ppl don't realize the larger lizards are social and need affection and attention.

How is he not supposed to love you? You are the best dad ever 🥹❤️

❤heartwarming. I love Blue❤

Tegus are incredible animals, very smart, they can be very affectionate (after a lengthy process of bonding) but they are NOT easy pets. They require a very carefully balanced diet, they can be very temperamental and aggressive, particularly when they’re feeling hormonal. And that bite? Yowza. It hurts like hell. A male tegu can bite with the same force as a fully grown jaguar. Not to mention their poop is super smelly and looks like scrambled eggs 🤢 not great to deal with if you have a weak stomach. Please keep all this in mind if you’re looking for a pet tegu- there are many abandoned ones because people got them when they were small and cute, and quickly got overwhelmed. They need a lot of space.

Blue is so affectionate and loving. The extra care he needs or wants is worth it. Reminds me of my 14 year old Bearded Dragon, that passed away snuggled into my neck ❤❤

Many lizards are very affectionate and are clean smart creatures. They need specific care and people need to research them so they provide the best care for them. 🐾🐾❤️❤️😺😺🐾

Some animals are just smart enough to know when they have it made.

He's so beautiful. I grew up on a farm in Canada and would rescue salamanders I found in the cellar of our old farmhouse. I've never had a lizard but I love all animals (a little wary of snakes though) and I've always like to watch people with their lizards.

I love so much that he even gets the socializing with the friends & family!!

Your LOVE shows🤗🤗

He's beautiful!

What an Awesome baby❤ I love his Chonkiness😊

He is so cute and he looooves his gramma…😊❤😊❤

So beautiful

Tegu lizards are intelligent, playful, and affectionate. They make great pets, but are a lot of work!!! Make sure you do your research before getting any pet!

You're my boy blue you're my boy!

You're my boy, Blue!

What a love bug!! So darn cute!!❤️

Pets are so lively and good acquaint. Watching this reminds me of my pet Ricky ( blessed memory) . Who I died because of my lack to care and to be available due to the nature of my then job. I miss you Ricky

That is amazing how affectionate he is. Oh, and he doesn't hit with his tail like a whip:)

Dude- you fostered this relationship with incredible patience bravo 👏🏻

- What kind of lizard is he? He is drop dead gorgeous 😍 ✨️ ♥️ 🤧 ❤

Tegus are the best period!! I have four myself with my oldest being 15. And really it doesn't matter if they're wild caught, abandoned, abused, or neglected prior. If you put in the time and have the patience, that tegu will quickly become your best friend. They also all have their own personalities and are super intelligent.

incredible, I love Blue

Amazing.

The lizard is beautiful 😊

This is an Argentine Tegu. Thier King is named Gus Gus and he is pretty rad.

Todas las especies pueden dar y recibir amor, aunque pueda parecernos que no, desde la más grande a la más pequeña merece respeto, cariño, atención y cuidado❤

Was für ein wunderschönes Tier❤

Blue the tegu loves all the attention, affection, caresses, loving & being included in everything, he just soaks it all right up, he's a good boy☆☆♡

I have seen things in my life, But this is AMAZING! There are no words to explain this relationship.

Danka!!!

SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!!!! Love this and hope blue loves his family forever!❤❤❤❤

that is one chunky boi

God gives many animals a loving nature and that is amazing. Love Blue.

A Tegu !!! They are soooooo sweet and smart ❤

God, I want a Tegu something terrible, they are such wonderful reptiles ❤

He seems very happy and well cared for.

Tegu's are absolutely fascinating.

It is one of my strongest beliefs in life that anything alive that can exhibit fear, can also exhibit trust. And anything that can exhibit trust, can develop a bond with care and time.

A beauty, that Blue😊 What a sweet story❤❤❤

How cool that all your family and friends love him too!

Blue’s beautiful! ❤😍

This was a really special video. I have no desire to take care of a reptile but this dude put the time in to show us this Gila that’s super chill.

So sweet to see your friends and family petting Blue. What a sweet boy.

Beautiful story of love!

Pure love and the best is he is happy and secure in his love. Thank you. 🙏

Blue is awesome!!

Tegus are such sweet and interactive animals. They’re thinking, you can see behind their eyes. I love those scaly pups.

Although I'm not really a big reptile fan, Blue would probably be the exception!

How sweet! I love lizards so much. I had no idea you could rescue them.

Aww,. he is gorgeous! Such a joy/

Loving Blue!

Beautiful

Guy U rock. Taking care of a Lizard is tough. Friend has 1. But when they come around they can have such smarts and love.

Beautiful lizard

What a great lizard dad❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

In Brazil we have these as common in our backyard as Americans have squirrels. They are very chill laid back. BUT they can be nuisance when they steal your chicken eggs. We have two dogs who keep them away from the coop. But we love having them around otherwise. They keep rodents away, and therefore keep snakes away! Big plus having them around.

You are a very good dinosaur owner ❤ Blue loves his Grammy ❤❤❤

he spoiled 😆😹 he became huge

After 2 years of unconditional love after a rough patch he just had to tire out of his anger. Classic reptile move.

Cute Dinosaur.

I like his cute widdle nose 😊

All living creatures show/need affection! Be kind to our beloved critters

cute tagu

Beautiful beast!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful Tegu ❤ lucky to have such a loving owner. I was surprised to see him riding in the car on such a nice interior, without protective blankets , or something lol. Gonna scratch up them nice seats !!! 😂

Everyone needs their very own dinosaur!!!

That's precious

I love this story ❤️You take great care of Blue

Blue Is SOME KIND OF LIZARD!! He is simply breathtaking!! Just Beautiful To Look at!! What a sight to see!! Blue Is Really BODACIOUS!!❤😊

Tegus are incredibly smart and incredible sensitive to change! Mine learned to open his glass he also desplayed signs of grumpiness when his enclosure was opened but he didnt get food. How was this discontent shown? He would look at you then turn away where he then proceeded to shovel dirt directly at you. He also didn't like my ex so he would face away whenever she came near 😂~ these guys will also actively seek attention and no its not just because "he was seeking heat" he had a hot spot and would break out to just curl under the covers with me then would crash out.

Reptile love.

What a lovely chonky boy.

Livin the good life

It's so wonderful to see LOVED animals !

Such an impressive bond~👍 Thank you for sharing this video~🤗

A#1 per for sure.

We Love Blue too. 🌿🌿🌿

I just saw a Tegu lizard out in the wild the first week of May while visiting Florida.

Love y’all ❤

Everybody ❤ Blue 😊😊😊

I love Blue

This warms my heart ❤.

My son has a tegu lizard, about the size of Blu. He's a great pet.

:o the magical lizard pupper

"You're warm. I like you."
