They don't like me over there. I tend to speak my mind very often, if you havent already noticed. And most of the time, my words can be thought to be "rude". Well, that's pretty much that way all the time... hahahahaha

Haha same here. I got screamed at on the BD and cage forums because I have dirt in their cages. Go figure. :lol:

That site seems to be dominated by kids who have no experience, but have done research. That, of course, leads to regurgitated info with nothing to back it up. Shame. I also wonder why repticzone gets so many spammers.

For those people who use solid substrate.....

With high temps, loose substrate is no problem. Several of us on the monitor forum have used dirt for BDs for years, no problems. One of the main posters on the BD forum uses sand for all of hers, babies included.

Maybe the reason it is so hard to post your (mine too) mind there is because it is "kid friendly".

I could say the same. :wink: :) :lol:

Bobby,

I assume that by a V you mean that there is no intersecting line making a diamond or a triangle. Correct? So looking at the picture you provided the point of the V moves into two arms that go down the neck, at no time is there a line that connects the two arms of the V? I note a little line on the throat, but it does not meet the arms of the V. I this all correct? If there is a line connecting the two arms of the V is this still consistent with your "Giants" or does this make it a "regular tegu?

I made it more plain to see here, in the Giants that I have seen it does not break, it also ends at the side of the jaw.

That didn't help. Mine has a V which starts at the chin and ends at the jaw, however it is thicker and has a line connecting the ends of the V arms creating a triangle under my gu's jaw. I purchased him from a pet store and have no reason to believe he's anything but a regular b&w.

I have seen it in the normals, but it does not go all the way without breaking.

Also it would need to have the peachy creamy color. Does yours have it?

His V does not break at the top. He's a little tanish but I would not call him peachy. I as just curious since he does have a thick V or rather a triangle. I don't have any pics of his neck but will take one soon and send it to you. Like I wrote, I picked him up as a standard B&W Argentine from LLLReptiles.

Well it is possable, when we were getting the animals ready for shipping one that I sent to Ben was a Giant. My wife got them mixed up, I did not realize it until I got ready to ship the other one that was going to be a Giant, it was found to be a normal, at that point I did send a Giant instead of that one. So Ben did get one of my Giants instead of a normal, so there is one of my Giants floating around out there somewhere.

I'm confused. What does Ben have to do with LLLReptiles in Oceanside CA., where I picked up El Che?

Ben Siegel reptiles could have done some swapping with LLLReptiles, this is quite common at the shows. So it is possible that it could be that one.

Another very big difference is the egg size and weight. The normal egg weight is 16 grams, the Extreme egg weight is 26 grams, that is a 10 gram difference in egg weight.
