They look like a red tegu . I have had many Gu's and at this time own three reds' One blue and six b/w . And I couldn't tell the locality mine came from nor could I care as long as they are healthy .

Like said they are red Tegus, and I'll bet they have no proof and probably don't even know if they are really from Paraguay.

I don't care where they are from the name to me is a scam personally just wanted to know if ayone had one to get a 2nd perspective, from the pics I've seen from underground I like what I see but at the same time you look at the hybrids they have the ones in the pics aren't green eli was green as can be so I don't have much faith in undergrounds photography

I like the red and white look like I said just wanted to know if someone had one, I used "paraguayan" just to single them out cause I know underground had other reds :)

Same species, I have read that the patterns and shades of red are a little different than the argentine reds. I can see if I can dig up the thread if you'd like. I believe it was one of derekdragons threads.

Some times when you need info it's best to take it to the source but,.. they're just Reds. More Red than black more black than Red doesn't matter it's still a Red tegu. As for Paraguay or Argentine they don't even know,.. if you watch some of the videos they get them confused as well. In one they said they bred a Paraguay with an Argentine but still called it an Argentine.

A couple videos are labeled Paraguay Red but they call it an Argentine in the video. On another video he said he bred a Red/Blue x Blue to get pure Red Albino Tegus. Now,.. how does that happen? No matter how many Reds you breed into it,.. it will still carry genes from both parents and be a hybrid.

Even with a Red x Blue it's easy to say 50/50 but you don't know what percentage of genetics the babies carry from that clutch on.

Which got me thinking about the Het tegus and wondering where do people come up with this stuff.

"Aww Dude,.. I think I might have it,.. it makes perfect since, okay run with me on this. If you eat food you crap out your but right? Yeah " Alright keep with me here it gets a little complicated. If you eat food then crap out your but,. then maybe if you stuck food up your but you would crap out your mouth".

Yep,.. that's the problem,.. we have too many people pulling a Cartman and crapping out of their mouth.

I have just purchased a paraguayan red & white tegu from undergound reptiles she's a female and 4 months old with beautiful colorful hues... She dug a den in the substrate and I haven't seen her since yesterday ( I got her yesterday )
But she's very beautiful and I recommend purchasing your tegu from them if you haven't already.

Yay lol how big is she at four months? And I've already made up my mind I'm ordering a female tomorrow.

From the pics she looks really small for 4 months, my extreme is pushing 2 feet easy and my hybrid (from underground) if not pushing 2 feet is close

Makes me wonder if they even feed their baby tegus or what they feed if they are 4 months old they were born around the same time as bobby's extremes. And I wouldn't worry about not seeing your lil gu he's in a new place and little just offer water and food

If it goes on for a week then she might be going down for hibernation

Still gotta think of a name, nothing too cliche for a red though like pyro pheonix clifford blaze though... anyone got any suggestions?
