Rosso mean red in italian. Nice strong sounding name for a tegu too. congrats! also same care, but i've heard reds like fruit more than others.

Only thing with reds that is different is shedding issues. Reds tend to need more fruit in their diet to help with shedding. Other than that they are about the same as black and whites.

How old is your sav now?

Savs and tegus need different humidity, basking spot temperatures and so on. I would simply keep them totally separates. Reds are still carnivores they just eat a bit more fruit. They aren't vegetarians so don't think that.
