    He looks like he's in great shape. And you can tell from his eyes that he is intelligent and interested in observing your activities.

    Great looking Tegu! Is it an Argentine or Columbian?
    I'm having a very hard time figuring it out, he has the head structure and coloration of an Argentine, but only one loreal scale and lack of a distinct lateral line like a Columbian.
    I'm going to go with Columbian, but I'm interested to see what your breeder told you.

    Also, how's his temperament?

    That is an Argentine. Although he doesn't have the "typical" features he does have the lines that go down his body an dhe has much of a pattern then a columbian. Columbians also seem to have a much shinier skin, they tend to look wet. They are also much more slender through the head and neck area.

    I thought the lack of a second loreal scale was more interesting than his coloring...

    My argentine also lacks a second loreal scale, which I thought was strange for a long time, but over the last couple sheds it looks as if they're starting to divide into two. Maybe Slava's will divide as it gets older too?

    the 2nd scale isn't 100% (like 95%-98%) i've seen an adult with one scale on one side & two scales on the other.
