Gold Tegus are not animals you just want to jump into getting especially two of them.
How long have you had your Varanus exanthematicus?? If they are still fairly young and not in their permanent adult sized enclosures then you might want to wait until that happens before adding more large species of lizards like tegus into your home. As with Varanids, tegus can become quite costly in terms of feeding and housing.

I agree with ameiva .. a gold tegu is probably the worst to just jump into even just getting one.

I would suggest if your heart is set on getting a tegu, go black and white, they are the most ... for lack of a better word tolerant to its keepers mistakes.
Just keep in mind that golds are notorious for there hostile temperament

I love Colombian Golden tegus, but I will not suggest them to a newbie. Get an Argentine B&W. Noe Colombian B&W I have one, and he is a little fire cracker.
