Is this an extreme??

Hello all I was just wondering if this might be an extreme or if she's a plane black and white? i got her last july. Thanks ~AJ~

You should pm Bobby; he could almost definitely answer your question.

As for the question itself, I HIGHLY doubt that it is an extreme
(that is, unless you bought her from Bobby of Varnyard Herps himself, of course!)

Even if it isn't an extreme, who cares. A tegu is a tegu. Black and whites are just as cool. If Extreme giants were the ones commonly available and regular black and whites were uncommon, everyone would seek out the regulars. Don't fret. Your tegu is very nice looking and healthy.

Hey AJ,
Welcome to the forums! Good lookin lil girl you got going on! In my opinion, it looks to be a normal B/W...I don't see the creamyness associated with the Chocoans on her. The V under the neck doesn't always indicate a Chocoan as well. Bobby was just saying that all his Chocoans are born with this characteristic but that doesn't mean the normals can't have it. But ya never know, the lighting can be a little tricky....the final say should be said by the master himself!

This is true, some normals will have the V. However, this tegu looks to me like a normal BnW.

Still, a tegu's a tegu.

I do not agree, a tegu is not just a tegu. Just as car is not a car, some are better than others.

well thank god the "lizard-sit a 'gu!" is not true! I am keeping her and he wants her back he can buy a new one he only had her for a monthe and i got her in september so but thanks for the help

 

[rule6660]

i have been giving my older tegu bath's to help with her shedding and the other day i put the both together and they did good so hopfully i can keep them together more often

 

[VARNYARD]

I have a few normals that have the full V, I am going to check them and see how many have this. I will also check all of the extremes to see if they have it. I would think that one every now and then might not, but at this point I do not know for sure.

Not to get off topic but I think my BnW is going to be a big boy last month when I measured him he was 30" at 7 months and swtbrats extreme was 32" at 7 months.
