i use cypress mulch for the bedding and i create burrows and hiding places by purchasing slates of rocks at the gardening/landscaping place. inexpensive and works really well, but this is for argentines. i'm sure it would be the same for colombians. maybe someone else can fill in for me. lol

My colombian likes to bury herself in the mulch or under wood planks i have under some basking lights.
I have noticed (at least with mine) that colombians dont seem to dig actually burrows as opposed to argentines, who also dig much deeper.

Well Colombians are not just called Golden, there are also Colombian black tegus or also called Colombian black and white, altho they are not true BnWs but rather just blacks.

When I purchased mine, it was called the black and white tegu. What I thought I was buying was an Argentine which is what I really wanted in the first place. But after I found out more it was the columbian. I was kinda ticked off at first but now after a month of having it. I really enjoy him/her a lot. But im still confused with the golden thing!!! Mine has a black back with golden stripes with some white mixed in and a black and white tail blahhhhhh this is so confusing. All I know is after going to a different place to get some more things for his terrarium because I refuse to go back to the place were I bought mine from beying conned, the worker showed me his collection of tegus and about the loreal scale. Hes been a great help though I'm goin back in a few days to get his 6 foot tank and im buying a baby beardie!!!
