Underground Reptiles "Pinstripe Tegu"

[Bubblz Calhoun]

They just posted this video as a new morph, she looks good, different and all but should be Proven Genetic before calling it a new Morph.

awesome. that should be an expensive one....

 

[tommyboy]

Looks really nice. Guess we will have to wait and see on the genetics.....

 

[Bubblz Calhoun]

There have been others like her, with reduced patterns and spotted like polka dot spotted. I just don't see why they're jumping the gun. Prove it genetic before you call it a morph. Once proven then you can call it what ever but do the work and have the proof first.

looks like she needs more tameing..but very nice tegu

Looks familiar http://www.albinoiguana.com/tegus.html

Bobby had some with much more lateral striping when I visited him a while back. I don't remember what he was calling them at the time or if it was just a side project he was toying with but they were pretty darn cool looking.

Amateur me, I should have just used the search function.. Here are the ones I saw over there, bred for reduced pattern. The striping is pretty intense on their backs, not lateral like my fuzzy brain recalled.

Wow those are cool. i like bobby's the most though, lots of white in the ones in the above link.

 

[Bubblz Calhoun]

Chelvis that's the same tegu, maybe they bought it or picked it up in a trade or something.

Hm. Interesting. The pattern on the ones bobby bred remind me very much of their distant western whiptail cousins.

[monstruo-the-tegu]

i hope the attitude isnt gonna be like that but very very pretty colors

I remember Bobby talking about his but wasn't sure if he was still breeding them or not. They are interesting, that's for sure.

Things not to do with your tegu:

Basically everything this guy does.

The lack of respect he had for that tegu just solidified the fact I would never buy anything from them.

 

[mattlagrone19]

When you have as many breeders as they do u can't possibly expect them all to be tame.

 

[VARNYARD]

Wow, I have some, lol. And no, it will not prove out, but I can sell them a male, only because they are so valuable, lol.

[tommylee22]

I'm curious what a pin stripe Tegu would cost someone on average?

 

[VARNYARD]

I guess that would depend on where you get it, some would sell them at normal prices, and others would say they are rare and worth 1000s.

So Bobby, did you try and breed this out? They are beautiful!
