They are the same species, so people list them interchangeably all the time. That is the problem with common names vs scientific names. Some sellers can't tell the difference between a Colombian and Argentine, so you don't know what may come from a Colombian tegu purchase. It may be more black and white, it may be yellow and black. I would just call instead of placing an order on-line and ask for one with a lot of yellow coloration. A seller should also be able to email a photo of their stock.
