Those "other" species...

[Blue Crab of PAIN!!!]

I just have a quick question which I've been wondering about for a while.
Have any of the "other" tegu species made it into the pet trade?
By "other", I mean one of these:

Tupinambis quadrilineatus, Common name (Four-striped Tegu)

Tupinambis palustris, no common name.

Tupinambis duseni, Common name (Yellow Tegu)

Tupinambis longilineus, Common name (Rondona)


Or the Dicrodon "Desert Tegus" or Crocodilurus amazonicus "Crocodile tegu"
I know those last few aren't actually tegus, but they all seem interesting none the less.
I don't plan on getting any of the odd tegus even if they were available, I'd prefer to take the conservative route with the Arg B&W. I am still curious to know if anyone knows about these and if they have experience with them

Thanks in advance.

All of the species listed are not in the pet trade, there were rumors that there were Tupinambis duseni in Europe, but I do not think there are any. Here are some more pictures of the Tupinambis duseni:
