I was just wondering what the platinum blues look like, is there really that big of a difference between them and the regular pahse blue tegus? Is the platinum coloration hereditary? If anyone has any pictures, please, feel free to share!

Not really sure what a platinum blue looks like. I'd think that there was some kind of difference or they wouldn't have a different name. Platinum if it is an actual morph would be hereditary. Ron has never sold platinums to my knowledge and he doesn't provide pictures either. To make snows you need axanthics and albinos. There are solid white tegus (snows?). I do however know of "snows" being bred and normal albinos were also in the clutch. Albinos lighten in color when kept outside. Maybe these snows are just albinos who have been kept outside? Who knows...they may be no such thing as a platinum. If there is prove me wrong, show me some pics (breeding, babies, babies bred back to prove them out..). That's my take on platinums.
