Sobek, question

[TeguBuzz]

So most of you have seen pics of Sobek. Is he a powder blue, a platinum, or what? The pics ice posted in previous threads do not do him justice. He's got a very light blue coloration all over his body, that white is blue in reality.

Help me out here!

Thanks.

He looks powder blue to me. The platinum is a deep vivid blue, but it is hard to call if you say the picture is not showing the blue

I would consider him a powder blue more so than a platinum because his white(blue)is so vivid

Perhaps these car colors, as examples,would help you decide what he is, as far as differences between the two colors?
I know how hard it is to show the blue coloring in pictures of the blue tegu's. It just does not work.

Powder blue

Platinum blue

Wow, that really helps Rose. Between those 2 pictures, I'd have to say Sobek looks more like the first. The colors really only come out when he's out of his enclosure. I appreciate the help from all of you!

I would say poweder blue, although those names really have not been used in so long. I would just say his a stud blue

In my opinion those labels were used by different breeders/wholesalers to market their blues. I would try not to get caught up in the labeling of your blue other than it being a blue tegu.

Understood. Really nice looking AA by the way. Saw it on a different thread.

I think more powder blue but a beautiful blue either way!
