Different Morph?!...

So I have mentioned before that my Tegu is an Argentine Black and White wild caught from Florida. I'm wandering if she is mixed with a different Morph because after her last shed I noticed orange spots on the middle of the white spots and she has orange on her belly. What do You all think?

I could be wrong since it possible that tegus can crossbreed but I used to trap tegus down in Florida and I worked with a “vendor” who would take the tegus we trapped and sell them to the pet trade. About half the tegus we caught had a orange or sometimes red bellies. The “vendor” would tell me it was just a locality that developed in Florida. From what I’ve seen it brightens with age and will get more vibrant as he matures. He just called it flame belly so it may be a morph? Ive never seen anyone breed for it in captivity but it’s quite pretty.

I recently read an article about the "Red Bellys" that is interesting. Thanks for the info
