It looks colombian to me... I don't see the "stripe" type thing going down the side of it. They're asking $350, saying its 24" and an argentine black and white..

The pattern doesn't look very argentine either

Yeah your rights it's Colombian.. For some reason i can just look and tell now, maybe too much time researching tegu's, who knows lol :p. But yeah maybe someone should email him and let him know, he probably was sold the tegu thinking it was an Argentine.

I thought so, I was going to e-mail them but wanted to make sure before I go saying things lol.

Can you imagine how pissed someone would be if they bought it for $350?!

lol,.. yep but at the same time if you're willing to shell out that much money for something,.. never leave it completely up to the seller. That goes for anything,.. do your research even if you have to down load pics and take them with you. Or just compare them on line.

Know and verify what you're paying for is actually what you're getting,.. especially for something you can't see in person.

it looks pretty sweet regardless, but even if it was a Argentine still wouldnt be worth 350$ get yourself a baby give him lots of TLC and he will be that size in no time.

It is a cool looking colombian. I e-mailed him, he seemed really nice. It was sold to him as an argentine, he thought thats what it was.

Suck's, he'll stay with the price though more than likely. But something i noticed is the people who get ripped off are the one's who jump head first into get a large lizard with no research.

Agreed. And he will keep the price for as long as he can to try to get his money back. I can't blame him, but doubt it will sell unless he keeps it mislabelled and some other misinformed person buys it.
