The detail
The blue tegu is a colour line of the Argentine black and white tegu in which males develop a blue sheen. It is not a separate species; care, size and temperament are those of the Argentine, and colour depends on the line.

What to weigh
Blue colour shows most in adult males and varies by animal, so a hatchling is a bet on the line. Care and space needs match any Argentine tegu.
