Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Bobby, you state that blue tegus are spam_spam_spam_spam_spam_rianae. Now why are blue tegus born almost black without the typical green head of all other known regional spam_spam_spam_spam_spam_rianae?
Let's take this is a new direction, just for the sake of discussion...
What is the blue tegu IS the melanistic version of the spam_spam_spam_spam_spam_rianae?
That would explain why, if blues are spam_spam_spam_spam_spam_rianae, that they are born without the green heads. Just food for thought for anyone who is actually interested and open-minded. Now I am not saying this is fact, it's just a thought.
I am interested in other peoples feedback.
Rick

Well maybe they are nothing more than what Ron called them to start with, these few came from Colombia is what Ron claims, and he calls them Tupinambis teguixin. Tupinambis teguixin also do not have green heads as hatchlings.

That would be hard since the scalation meristics are no where near T.teguixin.
The topic has the operatunity to actually go into the direction of constructive discussion. Anyone else interested in offering opinions or thoughts?

Have you done a scalation count on both of them? I mean both of them are smaller then the Argentines as well.

It could also be an inability inherant in only a small number of tegus, regaurdless of origin, to produce green pigment. That does not make them anything other than tegus that don't make green. Not albinos, not blues, not snows.
Yellow and green make blue. What if not all tegus make yellow?
I don't know enough about tegus.

Bobby, could you please post here, or PM me, with your cites to your research? I've been trying to find conclusive evidence to whether dietary D3 can substitute for UV.

Thanks for the link Bobby.
There are foods for people that are supplemented with the D vitamins, milk, for instance.
I am not necessarily disagreeing with what you are saying but I would like some pointers to scientific studies showing that dietary D3 is not an adequate substitute for sunlight, rather than anecdotal evidence. I tried to research that myself but as far as research done with reptiles, I'm having a hard time finding proof, help me out here?
