Red Tegu?

Just wondering if anyone can give me a better indication as to whether this is a pure red tegu, or possibly a mix of a Red and a B/W...

She has very little red on her body, except her tail- her tail is super red.
She has a lot of white!

Maybe a high white red?

(I don't know her sex for sure, but I just call it a she.)

She is currently 23"- her age is unknown- the seller told me approx 7months to a yr on the high side.

Thanks!

-also, please ignore my dirty bathtub!-

Not a hybrid Reds colors vary just like any other tegu. Like previously mentioned she may get darker / develop more red as she gets older or stay high white, it could go either way.

She's a very pretty red with a lot of white. Where did you get her from?

I got her at the Hamburg PA show.
The vendor got her in a trade and said he didn't have space for her.
The vendor said someone mentioned it looked like a chacoan giant, but we both agreed highly that's unlikely. The vendor did come from Florida... He coulda just caught her outside. Hahaha

She only cost me $125 so I felt that was more than fair considering he wanted $250 for her to start.

She's def a feisty thing. Hoping the red stays minimal.

Sounds like you got a great deal, I'm jealous! I saw one like that for sale around here. Snakes at Sunset had some pretty reds for sale last year. There aren't many reds running wild around here so I'm betting she's CB. ;)
