    O i dont know if it will help, but my red wont eat in a bin unless i clip a clamp lamp on the side (have just a 75w halogen flood in it) then he eats like a champ, but with out it he just curls up or tries to climb out. Even my Harley would do the same every once in a while

    hope this helps

    When I let mine out for free roam, they go to the kitchen where I keep a small area sectioned off for them to eat. They catch on quick where the food is.

    the most and biggest different are the loreal scales (the scale on the side of the head between the eye and the nostril)
    i can see in that pic yours only has one


    Colombian = 1
    Argentine = 2
    (dont count the one that is around the nostril)
    Colombian = Smooth Dorsal scales (just slide your hand down it's back)
    Argentine = Beaded Dorsal Scales
    Colombian = flat tongue
    Argentine = groove down center of the tongue

    Also Argentines almost always have the Brick lines down the top of their side where Colombians dont



    i hope this helps

    Yours is a beautiful cold columbian. Here is some info for you to check out if you want to.

    Difference between a Argentien and a Columbian Tegu :

    The one on the right top is a Columbian. The one is a Argentine :

    They aren't more likely to be aggressive, it's just they're usually a lot more skittish at first and take more time to trust you. Ignore either kind of tegu and it's not going to like you very much, they're both just as likely to have a fit even when fully tame. I don't like how Colombians get a bad rap just because they aren't as easy, they can be just as friendly from what I hear. :/

    see i agree with tora on this people think they are more agressive so they handle them less, which in turn makes them harder to handle.
    I personaly dont like the look of them as adults (they are built like a tube)
    What can i say i like my lizards Curvy... lol
