Nice looking argentine b&w.

Looks closely at your first pic, one easy way you can tell is by the bumpy scales. Colombians lack the bumps and thus, have smoother scales/skin. There's a couple other ways to distinguish them as well but the bumps are easy to see in your pic.

M3s4, I love your signature line, btw. haha

Thanks laura :)

Like, Dana, I'm interested to know how much you paid for him as well...He looks like he's in great condition and has awesome coloration. Definitely a good find.

Wow that is quite an animal to find at a swap meet. May I ask how much you paid for it?

I paid $170 he is very friendly, about 30" long. He is kind of a slow eater but he eats more every day.
