i was really hoping it was an argentine due to the more friendlier & almost everyone say to get an argie instead of a colombian.

Colombian Tegus only have one loreal scale, while the Argentine has two. Argentine Tegus are also much larger, they are considered the giant Tegu as they are the largest Tegu in the world. Argentine Tegus have beaded scales while Colombians have smooth scales. Argentine Tegus are broader and the head structure is quite a bit different. It's easy to tell when you see both in person and can make a comparison between the species.

Did you get it yet? Or were you just asking questions about an animal you were interested in?

no, i havent got it yet. as the person selling it says its an argentine balck & white tegu. which i doubt it..

yeah.. now, i know how to differentiate an argentine from a colombian. and that animal i posted is not an argentine. thanks again.
