My roomie and I bought a purple tegu from underground reptiles. The little one has yet to hatch,but I've seen good reviews for them.

Yes! Definitely buy from tegus only. I got mine from there and he is wonderful! Rodney is doing a good thing. I have a male juvenile. Had him about six weeks.

Hectors habitat or Tegusonly or NERD

I like underground’s YouTube just don’t like their marketing tactics. Just call it what it is a hybrid 50% red %50 blue hybrid. Instead they call them purples or ice Tegus aka albinos...

So down the road if you want to breed, if you’re not educated on the pairing you don’t even know what you’re selling to people. With any hybrid you’ll see variations but people down the road won’t know what they’re seeing.

They are trying to capitalize on the moph market of over species like snakes, beardies, and so on but the only two Tegu mophs are annery and albino.

So you end up with people thinking they have mophs when they in fact have hybrids

I'll at least agree with the dislike of marketing tactics. Though at least with Wifi, I researched heavenly both red and blue tegus. Since that's what he is. A hybrid.

I totally agree with Zyn ! Underground IS trying to create/capitalize on some people's desire for the exotic, or newest, color 'morph' in Tegus ! I don't think it is a good thing to do...I don't like it in dogs either...look at all the 'designer' dogs we have now ! Ridiculous ! IMHO
