Utahraptor said:a picture would help. knowing that it is mostly black doesn't really tell us much about what species it is since Argentines can come in a black and white variety.
Is it black with a little bit of yellow/gold coloration? If so, yes it is a colombian. Black with a bit of white? A picture will tell us.
Another way to tell is if the animal has one or two loreal scales (scales on the side of the face between the eye and nostril). One scale indicates a colombian, two scales are on argentine. That being said, some anomalous argentines have only one loreal scale.
Hope that helps.

Lol...it's a bit confusing and I'm not bashing anyone but because alot of ppl don't know much tegus sometimes they confuse others and it happens in pet shops lol and I saw a pure 100% Colombian black and white tegu be labeled as an argentine black and white and priced at $300! So it's not you jcrunk...whenever I'm undecided or confused I turn to tegutalk :lol: but as for me if I'm not mistaken they're the same tegu so hope this helps
