Nice looking Colombian you have there. Keep in mind there are (2) types of Colombians and although not recognized as different species, there are distinct differences.

Yours looks like a "gold" Colombian. Mainly all black with gold patterns and little to no white whatsoever.

The other Colombian's will be black with white patterns and typically a mocha/caramel/cream colored head with some of that color combo running down the sides, legs and/or tail.

I have one of each, so noting the color combos is very easy and although they are similar in appearance and body type, the different colors between the two totally give them away.

If you run into any snags don't hesitate to ask for guidance - this site has some of the worlds best tegu owners with knowledge ranging from tegus, monitors and gekos to various snakes.

Good luck!
