Correct me if I'm wrong, but the current state of knowledge on blue tegus doesn't include where they're from or if they're a distinct species. Given that this looks pretty much like a blue, and was obviously taken in the wild, why doesn't someone ask the photographer where he took this shot? It might give a clue as to where they come from, and with that one can collect more, enough to do genetic testing to determine if they are a distinct gene pool.

Well, I've contacted the site asking to contact the photographer, so I'll see what I can find out.
