If it's just coloration, than it is normal - I have read them being referred to as Colombian Black & Yellow Tegu's as well - My Black had both white and yellow on him too, however if I recall correctly - the yellow turned more white with age and growth... _________________ 1.0.0 Ball Python "Albino"

The Arggentine B&W and the Argentine Red tegus would most likely be fine together, but i wouldn't put the columbian with them at all. _________________ The Jay

The Argentines would most likely get along, however I would not personally throw a Colombian in the mix for a long period of time as the Argentines will outgrow the Colombians and if they were to fight, you may end up with a dead Colombian.
I know of one person here who had housed an Argentine with a Colombian "I believe temporarily" and from what I gathered they got along - Pics of them here...
ive experienced some odd coloration on my Argentine black and white.
she has a little or alot, depends on how you look at her, of orange on the bottom of her neck. im not concerned about it in the sense that its not normal, i was just wondering if it will stay there through out her life. its actually beautiful, well ill let you decide.

I think housing different species together depends on whether or not they require the same things (like environment and food) as well as size and temperament. I have a columbian tegu and a mangrove monitor that stay together and they get along just fine.

its normal. my boy has alot on his belly and a good amount on his neck. his has started to fade a little but not too much (or it could just be hes gettin ready to shed). i dont believe it fully goes away. if i remember right varnyard has a female he calls dark lady that has quite a bit of orange on her as well. _________________ "To be great is to be misunderstood. . ."
