Argentines generally have two, while columbians have one. Another way is to recognize the scale pattern along the sides of the back. Argentines have two distinct 'lines', one on either side, running all they way down their backs. Columbians scale patterns are generally more random. _________________ Visit www.reptileontario.com - Scott 0.1.0 Argentine Black & White Tegu (Koopa) 1.0.0 Bearded Dragon (Cowboy) 1.0.0 Pixie Frog (Chubudha) 0.1.0 Cuban Knight Anole 0.1.0 Chilean Rose Tarantula (Szandora) 1.1.0 Cats (Jimi & Rivers) And a Back to top tegutegu New Member Joined: Jan 13, 2007 Posts: 2 Posted: Tue Jan 16, 2007 1:22 pm    Post subject: thanks everyone, really appreciate it Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         theTegu.com Forum Index -> Show & Tell (Picture Forum) All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1 Translate to English using Google Language Tools:   Jump to: Select a forum General Site Forums----------------Site NewsWelcomeFun & GamesSuggestion BoxBusiness Ratings & ReviewsMembers LoungeHelpful Information Tegu Forums----------------Normal DiscussionGeneral CareHealth IssuesTegu HousingClassifiedsBreeding & GeneticsShow & Tell (Picture Forum)Lights!
