Thanks, guys! Sorry I'm kind of late to reply. I originally asked this question (a long time ago) because at my university (where I work) we have two tegus in our animal collection, and have labelled them as "Colombian." People who know more about these lizards than I do did this. So, I was wondering what the differences were, for future reference.
Ours are fairly young, they're less than 2 years old. We have two males housed separately. They're both happy and healthy and for the time being I am their primary handler, and the more I work with them the more I wish I had the space and money to keep one! I can tell if it's been a while since the last time they were handled, and they're not extremely fond of me picking them up (yet), but they're not aggressive and they enjoy riding around on shoulders. I think there's hope that I'll convince all the other student workers to love them, too, and hopefully they'll be among the nicer Colombians.
