i did some reading and im still kind of confused, i understand that the blue tegu originally came from colombia, but its temperment, and physiology, seems, allot similair to the argentines. but its seems strange that it was close enough genetically to hybridize with red tegus, which has me even more confused, because to my knowledge there have never been colombian/red hybrids, and there has never been argentine/colombian hybrids either. but from what i have read, red tegus eat a high amount of fruit, but blues have a highly carnivorous diet like the colombians. so hopefully they can figure out how to classify the blue tegu.
