teguixin + rufescens, I have not read or seen and the teguixin + marianae not that I know of. there is a considerable size difference. they are difficult to breed (teguixin).
that's a question I also asked a long time ago.
the rufescens and the marianae have been bred together and the rufescens and the marianae (blue) also. _________________ 0.1.0 B/W Colombian tegu

you didnt understand me....
i ment if there are hatchlings from those combinations.....
I don't understand you. What do you mean?
Your original question is not specific enough. Genetics have alot more going on then just what is seen on the surface. There are Dominant, Co Dominant, Reccesive genes that all come into play when producing animals. There are 7 diffrent species of Tupinambis not 3;
The 3 you refer to are the ones most commonly seen in the pet trade. As for genetic combinations....what do mean? WHat are you looking for? Columbians have yet to be bred in captivity (that I know of) and are farmed and then imported into the country. Crosses of this species are unheard of in the wild and captivity. In my opinion, undesirable as well.
Crosses between rufescens and merianae have occured and examples are all over this site. If you run a search you will be able to find what you are looking for.

As for this....it equals a Tegu. _________________ That's the thing about being taken under the wing of a dragon. It's warmer than you'd think.
