Red Cross? Help!

[Random8A]

Hey Folks,

I took some flash on flash off pictures of my "red" female tegu.. I'm having guesses that she's a cross??

Any opinions would be greatly helpful!

These pictures are JUST after a fresh shed!

Thanks all!

First of all, she's beautiful!
She does look like she may be a cross. The coloring is just too unique

Thank you Josh. Have any idea as to what with? LOL your guess is as good as mine!

Looks normal to me, Salvator rufescens has quite a bit of natural variation.

Looks normal to me as well but a amazing animal

I was also thinking normal. I've seen a lot of reds that seem to have a pattern then a dark overlay.

Looks like one of mine, looks pure red to me

 

[Random8A]

Okay, silly question. Is there a way to prove her out as pure?

Short of some expensive and time consuming genetic analysis, no.

It's pure. It's very unlikely that's a cross with anything and nothing about it screams cross to me.
