Ok, I am in need of some "really high" chest waders right now, if anyone would happen to have a pair for sale? :D
Anyone who knows "anything" about where the USA blues originated from, know Blue Tegu at this time is an unsubscribed subspecies of tegu, their origin is from the Northern part of South America. Their original bloodline was found in a shipment of Colombian tegus. At that time, there were only 6 that came in with that original shipment.

Bntegus,
Stop trying to classify something you know nothing of. And if you think your so intelligent .....where have you been for so long if you been doing all the things with Tegus you say you have. You are virtually an unknown.
You feel the need for proof, make some contact with the man who originally got them & he can explain all you are saying that is so wrong, and in SO many ways. So, where is all the proof of anything you have been saying... better yet, where are all those pictures everyone wants to see? Ya, I didn't think so...

I really do apologize to everyone else on tegutalk, but it just keeps getting deeper & deeper.

Any chance you or RamblinRose have any links with information about the origin of the blues in the states?

I've got chest waders.. Non breathable though, so they smell terrible even after being hand washed regularly. ;)

Just some interesting stuff, but I don't know if it is anything new:

2006 http://www.newenglandreptile.com/forums/showthread.php?4855-Poor-Unclassified-Blue-Tegus....&p=40042

I feel bad posting this last one. It was the ultimate split that created two tegu forums. However, it has interesting information.

http://forum.kingsnake.com/tegu/messages/6713.html Here is something that I find interesting. This post is over 10 years old, even though this isn't straight from Ron, it still shows that where they came from didn't just start a few years ago. If I remember right there was something in the Vivarium about Ron and the blues. I'll have to see if I have that one or not. If I do, I'll scan it.

Bntegus, so are you saying all of the blues you have are wild caught? I am a bit confused with some of your posts. Thanks.

Well, after reading all of the links posted, I still don't see any proof of where exactly the blues came from or how many actually first came in. There is no proof of anything about them, all of it is Tom said this and Jim said that.

This all goes back to as Dana calls it "some guy/girl told me syndrome". Seems like a lot of "I heard this so it must be true".
