"Extremes are in my opinion a different local of the Argentine black and white, however without DNA testing or a proper scale count it could also be found to be a separate species than the normal black and whites.

These animals can reach over 60 inches and well over 20 pounds in weight and by far the largest of all the tegus. "

It depends who you buy it from. Bobby is the only person breeding the "Extreme Giants". If you buy a Whited Headed Tegu from someone else it's probably just a regular Argentine.
