There is definitely a lot of disagreement in the scientific community! I'm not making any negative comments about Serpent Coil's message when I say that, but the contrast in our posts does show the controversy out there. The Blue looks like the Argentine, but shares a lot of behaviors of the Colombian, so it's difficult to place. The interest in tegus is relatively new, so it will take some time to sort things out.

In the meantime, enjoy your wonderful creature! I'm hearing so much of little tegus with MBD this year, make sure you have good UVB lighting. By the way, as for feeding, I feed my young ones as much as they will eat in one sitting, every day. At the end of the feeding, they look fat, no wrinkles, but they have that longitudinal fold the next day. I slow down as they get older (about 2yo) and feed every other day so they don't get obese (rather common in adult tegus).
