BLUE CROSS RED = PURPLE ?

Looks like its got more blue look to it.

who r u getting it from. i thought underground reptile was the only people that bred those and they just came out...make sure its real and not a scam. it looks like normal blue to me

 

[Bubblz Calhoun]

Welcime to the site and congrats on the new gu. I would get proof of the breeding if you haven‘t already, since people are not always truthful. But it is a very nice tegu either way. I like the contrast between the high white pattern and black bar.

@ Bagnara16 red blue crosses have been around for quite a few years now and underground is not the only place that breeds them.

Quite a few people have crossed blues and reds. In the past this was more common then full blues. Underground are the only ones who have taken and bluexred cross and breed it back to a blue and got some albinos.

He is here , big fat , beautiful , and kinda calm so far ,

i got him from ZT reptile , he was a hold back from august 2012 clutch

i hope i won't mess things up and keep him tamed like this.

 

[psychocircus91]

Cool. do you know if he was put into brumation? I got my tegu a week ago and was very slow and calm the first few days. Now he is still docile, but also more squirmy and uneasy when being held.

I think Varnyard's All American Tegus are red x blues.

 

[reptastic]

The all Americans are 1/2 extreme 1/4 blue and 1/4 red

Blue x red have been around for years, as stated, I think UG just decided to call the one a purple tiger.

oh man, i was kidding about the purple thing.

The "purple tiger" isn't an ordinary red x blue. It is an albino red x blue cross. So it's a little cooler but the name is all marketing.

Exactly

But I think it is a red x albino blue. I don't think UG has an albino red, do they?

No, you're right. I just put red before blue, didn't mean it was from an albino red - don't think they have one.

 

[laurarfl]

Jon from albinos unlimited is the only one I know of that has albino reds. They are HOT!

 

[krazyeyez]

Both of mine are red x blue crosses, with high contrast white. My male shows a lot of red, but my female only has little red speckles and belly shading that didn't show until about a year and a half. Keep in mind varnyard breeds an "all American" that shows lavendar tinge images of blue
