Columbian Tegu's are normally black & white or black & gold, I've never seen a red one.

The Argentine's have a black & white "stripe" down their sides, Columbian's don't. Argentine's have "beaded" scales, the Columbian's are smooth. There's also a difference in the loreal scale count in front of their eyes.

Here's some more info. http://tegutalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2407&highlight=loreal
