Is an extreme giant, Whitehead/chacoan, and chacoan white giant all the same lizard :crazy . Sorry, but to a ROOKIE its a bit confusing :doh . I have ruled out the red, think I want a blue but need to know more about these. I have 2 beardies (my wife loves them surprizingly, kids not surprizing) and a Pacman frog, but I want more of a connection to a pet.

Extreme giants are not normal Argentine black and white tegus; they are much different in many ways. Different in color, pattern, scalation, size, and even shape.
White heads are not a morph, they are just one of the colors found in the Normal Argentine Black and Whites. Normals can range from almost solid white to almost solid black, and every shade in between. The lighter colored normals, as in what some call white heads can change color over time and become very dark, or just the other way around. Tegus can and do change color throughout their life.
Morph = Mutation, there is nothing mutated about a normal tegu, and that is all a whiter tegu is.
