Hi

How do u tell the difference between a Columbian and an Argentinian b&w tegu? Just Bought my first tegu today and was told it was Argentinian just wondered if there was anyway to make sure.

Thanks for the help

for one. colombians have scales of yellowish white. and args have bands and stripes, they will have like a white stripe going from each shoulder down half of their back.
