After much thought, I am changing the name on these tegus. Just for the record I have never called them Chacoan white Heads I have always called them Chacoan white giants. But to save argument over the differences I am going to change the name to Extreme Giants. Then no one can profit off the name or try to say they have the same animals. I am the only breeder of these; there are no others that I know of in the pet trade. If someone claims to breed them and to have babies for sale, then ask to see pictures of the offspring. If they look like normal Argentines they will not be these true Giant tegus.
As many of you know I also have the same animals they call Chacoan white heads, IMO they are nothing but a lighter normal, I have never charged more on them and they are sold at normal prices.
The V marking under the chin, as well as the creamy peach coloring can identify extreme Giants, or Chacoan white giants. Although it could be found on a rare occasion in the normal Argentines, However, all of the Giants have these markings that I have looked at. Normal white heads do not show these traits; also the Extreme Giants are much larger animals as adults, these are the largest tegus in the world that are found in the pet trade.
Also the white head colored tegus are found through out the range where the normal darker colored are, not just the Chaco region.
Note the V under the jowl.
Note the peachy cream coloring.
This coloring can also be seen in the Adults.
Note the peachy cream color on the head of this male.
This is also found in the females.

Do they get along well with Argentines? Anything else special I should know about them?
