When ifirst got this guy i was sure it was a columbian. Then someone told me it was an argentine so i said ok whatever. Now some one just told me he thinks its a golden..SHEESH..what the heck sub species is this tegu! thanks in advance.

I'm not a Tegu expert or anything, but I can tell you for sure that the animal you have pictured is not an Argentine B&W Tegu. Argentines are green instead of gold as babies.

What you have there looks like a Columbian B&W Tegu, to me, based on what I can see of the head scales and such.

Here's a pic of a baby Golden Tegu for comparison.

For your information bartman, tupinambis merianae is argentina black and white tegu. To be clear, your tegu IS NOT an argentina black and white tegu. Hope you understand this time
