Ok. I'll take a stab. We begin with not knowing if the Chacoan morph is just a pattern found in a population or if it is a regionally-distinct form unto itself. We do know that differences are often falsely marketed for money. The V-neck and I think the dark teardrop are markers for either Blues and/or Chacoans. I can't stress enough that these named types are yet unknown to be biologically meaningful even though heritable.

Dive in one and all.

Thanks man overall I have to agree I feel like tegus are so loosely exported and interbred that finding true bloods is next to impossible.

Yes, loosely exported and interbred- confuses and makes harder to know what's regionally-distinct, if at all.
