I like when they keep some dark colors in their patterns.

It's interesting... I can't seem to find any information on jowl popping that isn't on either here or thetegu. Is there another word for this? I've been looking for more information like "why" they do it, and what it means specifically. Link does it sometimes when he's stressed. Usually when he's in the bath for too long and wants out. Judging by what I've read, a jowl pop can mean different things in different contexts, and I'm trying to understand tegu body language better

Gary does it over Rango and Guru over Gary, for them it seems to be a dominance thing. I've never seen them do it just because. I'm curious too, I'd like to know more about the behavior.
