Difference between male & female puberty.

What sex of Argentine black & white tegu is easier to handle/tame down during their puberty stage? Or does it make a difference between their tantrums, giving the fact that it's puberty?

Thanks in advance for all & any advice

Both of my B/W's were wild caught, so take that into account... My male was one of the worst case scenarios with his dominance probs, and my female was a peach. That said, I do think it depends on the Tegu. I've heard others talk about their females having dominance issues - mostly while working through puberty. So - my advice to anyone who is concerned about that particular thing - get a Beardie. They are the most lovable easy going lizards I know of, still plenty of personality.

LOL my Beardie Blake hit maturity and turned into a wild beast. He will literally run across his inclosure with mouth open to bite.
