I'm attempting to research proper scientific names of the beautiful blue tegu, and the white (ghost) tegu, for a show this weekend. Anybody know where i can find this information?

A few scientists that work in taxonomy that are aware of the blue tegu have decided it should currently fall under Tupinambis merianae.

Thank you for posting!

So that's the same as the Argintine Black and White right?

I've only seen pictures of these guys and not in person i thought they looked smoother than that. icon_cool.gif

Thanks again. If you or anyone you know is in the Seattle area this weekend come check out the Pacific Science Center Reptile Exhibit. I'll be ther with all my animals.
