I've had this little gem for about 3 months now and I'm still not 100% on his type. Looks like a mix of both gold and black and white. Either way I love him to death I was just wondering if someone could help me with the I.D.

Pretty sure as far as Colombians go it’s the same thing most people call them golds you don’t really hear Colombian black and white unless someone’s just using the the black and white part of the Argentine to help market some columbian imports

black & white / Gold / Common are all the same species in Colombians it just depends on who you talk to, to what they say.

Some are gold and bla k, others black and white. Not sure if they're natural morphs in wild populations or regional differences.

Thank you! I Love this little ones markings too. I do believe tupinambis teguixin is what Icarus has to be. He just throws me through a loop. his gold stripes are so thin and he has light blue spots, which don't fit any, one mold I've seen. Either way he's deffenetly my little buddy.
