Cool looking tegu, but Reds x B&w are nothing new. Just got some lighter coloring from the red. But still beautiful animal

It's a Red and Black hybrid,.. nothing rare about it,.. it's been done for quite some time. I'm sure he was just repeating what he was told about it. Since Reds range from bright almost blood red to peach, why would a black and red be any different.

It's all marketing to get more money for them.

Also if there's only four in the world like he said,.. then how are they selling them over on tegu terra?

Isn't Johnny LaRocca the dude that claimed to breed Bert's tegus but couldn't ever show proof? And Bert's passed...really makes it hard to believe...

kellen.watkins - I am working on that, just got to get settled into the new place and find a female extreme. We'll see

As for the red and black isn't there one on kingsnake right now and i have seen them locally as well. This would be wierd to see some many if there are only 4 in the world.

Too bad we both got males, m looking for a female blue to do the same, i think it'd be great to see how different those 2 clutches would look

Ya I had the chance now twice to get ahold of an extrem female but one time my dog had to go to the vet for a leg injury the next the car broke down, so no money = no tegu. So the hunt is on, maybe next year.

Are they willing to sell? I was talking to someone about a female caiman lizard but they are getting more and more common right now. PM or post any contact you got. Oh are they willing to ship I should ask?
