One way to tell the difference between Ar[bleep]entine and Columbian Te[bleep]us is the loreal scales (The lar[bleep]e scales or scale between the nose and the eye). 2 for Ar[bleep]entine and 1 lo[bleep] one for the Columbians, if you still don't [bleep]et it, heres a pa[bleep]e that m[bleep]ht better explain than me:

The [bleep]'s [bleep]ot bleeped in my post for some reason...
just replace the [bleep] in that link with a [bleep] (This post is [bleep]ett[bleep] bleeped too, so replace the [bleep] by h[bleep]hl[bleep]ht[bleep] it and press[bleep] the 6th key over on your keyboard)
Anyone know whats up?

K...I think someone else already said it but I couldn't read with all the 'bleeps'...so here it is AGAIN. The scales between the nose and eye - Argentine has two and the columbian has one....hope that helps.
