So my name is Ali and I'm really just wondering about our Tegu, Maximus.
My husband loves tegus, he has had a Columbian and an Argentine before (both b&w), his Columbian was his bestest friend and he had him for about 6 years until he died of a tumor before I met him. He had a sub adult Argentine that he gave away before his move across the country. He always bought his tegus from breeders. After about 5 years of being together, tegu-less, a good friend of ours' father was moving and needed a good home for his "blue" tegu, so of course we offered, and my husband was ecstatic. So I've figured out that he's truly an argentine (which I thought all blues are), but I really don't think he's blue. I've googled photos and I honestly can't tell the difference, I think he's b&w, and my friends dad was mis-informed, because he got the tegu for free form a 3rd party that the owner worked through (long story). It doesn't REALLY matter, we love Max just the same, I'd just like to know. Here's a few photos of him, he was skinner than my husband prefers when we got him, so we're working on getting some cute jowls on him.

I'm glad you guys picked up on the skinny thing. I'm sure with regular, healthy feedings he'll pack on the pounds. At first, I thought it might have been a B/W as well, but in the last pic, there does seem to be some definite light blue markings, especially on the sides. I've been told that the Blues can be lumped into three coloring groups; powder blues, platinums, and high whites. Perhaps yours is a B/W/Blue combo...?
