Argentine or Columbian Tegu???

[merlinsdrgn]

I recently purchased another tegu and was told it's an Arg B&W but then someone else told me it's a Columbian, not an Argentine tegu :chin ... Can someone help me out with this? Also, if you can point out the differences... Thanks!

Definitely a Coloumbian there are a few differences between the two and when you see them side by side its easier to tell. The first I would say is color, b & w are just that black and white. While Colombians are black and gold or black and yellowish color. Besides their tail and few white spots (if any) on their body.

There's a better comparison chart on here somewhere but I don't remember where it is.

Check out some pics on both threads and you'll see that you have a Colombian.
