Bubba is a male black&white (or common) tegu (Tupinambis teguixin)..
He is about 18" long, although I haven't measured him. I got him in
September of 1993, but do not know how old he is. He is the least
pleasant of all of my pets, being the only one who's bitten me out of
hatred, instead of annoyance.

It doesn't show in these pictures, but he has himself raised up in a
defensive or attack posture, and is trying to hiss.
