HELP WITH MY SOON ADOPTION!

[Flawdabeachbum]

I was told this is a red tegu but looks more like a b/w too me. And can anyone tell me if its a argentine or a columbian? I would rather a argentine because I hear they are more docile. Please help

It's an Argentine Red alright, Tupinambis Rufescens. How old is it? It is looking malnourished. I would be concerned.

he is a very nice Red Argentine,, but i agree with puffDragon he looks skinny to me .. is he eating well??

 

[VARNYARD]

He is a red, but I agree with these guys he looks thin. Where did he come from?

sucha' red cutie! he needs some goodies in a hurry.

i found him on my local craigslist. Hes only a few months old the picture is just zoomed in so maybe thats why he looks a little bigger. But if I get him I will surely fatten him up. Would it be better to get a black and white argentine if its my fist tegu , I hear there more docile

Get him and feed him back to normal! Our big male Red is my favorite, he's very mellow.

Yea his tail should be nice and fat and the base. He hasn't been fed in a while. I'd see if he is eating at all, and if not try pouring soft boiled egg yolk over some lean ground turkey, mine loves it!
