Show off your Colombians :)

"Little T." my only colombian, although Laurafl's Chester used to be mine...

Would he be considered a b/w or gold???

 

[laurarfl]

I know, I took photos

 

[SnakeCharmr728]

where are these photos you speak of?

 

[laurarfl]

Here's my NatGeo photography work, lol.

I have determined that Chester will not be photographed, except when he sat still and pottied on my Pergo floor. thx Chester.

Oreo, prob WC female about 7yo

Chester, male age unknown, from SnakeCharmr

I had them out feeding. All the pictures I have of them is of them eating when they are still. I was trying to get something different. But he walked around, ate, peed on the floor (got a photo of that), and then crawled under the sofa to sleep under the blankets in the corner. For a terrifying Colombian, he's awfully boring! He just kept trying to crawl on me. Now you know why I never post pictures.

 

[SnakeCharmr728]

LOL Chester, oh how I miss him but I am so glad I get to keep up with him through you.
These were some "still" shots I got of him during his time with me...

and one time he escaped, and i found him sleeping inside my bag with my ice skates

 

[laurarfl]

He's so cute! His weight is down a bit. He goes through periods of eating vs not eating, probably depending on how much he is thinking about Oreo.

Do Colombians jet the jowls like the Argentines?

 

[SnakeCharmr728]

Nope, no jowls for these guys!

 

[laurarfl]

Like mini jowls, but that's it.

They do have jowls, just not the giant, swollen masses of muscle the Argentines do. They don't stick out too much except when your tegu is laying flat on the ground, then they splay a bit to the sides but again not nearly to the extent of the Argentines'. I have found the jowl/chin is a good place to give your tegu a nice scratch.

Based on the color, I'd guess gold. All the baby black and whites I've seen haven't looked nearly that yellow. Pretty little guy.

^^^ Just Colombian not a gold. I don't agree with or use the b&w term with Colombians as most on here know. But it looks similar to Mila when she was little before all the black spots came in. Plus the leg pattern is more consistent with Colombians than Golds.

Nice you guys! I like the gold colors!

There are about 3 or 4 baby columbians in a crowded 20g tank at my local reptile shop...if I didn't have a baby argentine coming I would have one of those asap. They're 80$ each, but they look so nice. And I feel really bad at how cramped they looked in their cage:/

I'm so glad I never have to see that kind of thing here in the UK. You'd be lucky to a single Colombian in a reptile store, let alone a whole nest in a small tank. Hope they find loving homes soon !

p.s. Some new pictures of my little lad coming soon

My Achilles, I've had him since May. My husband got him instead of an Argentine for my birthday and despite reading how they are supposed to be all skittish and what not, Achilles is awesome (even though he is still always hiding lol)

Quite a photo heavy post, but all my latest pictures of my little boy !
