There is no such thing as a Tamatave Blue Bar. There is a Tamatave and then there is a Blue Bar Ambilobe. I think you may have a Sambava there. Sambavas are usually green when resting, and their bars can look dark maroon like they do in the picture. Also, Sambavas have something known as a "U" bar or a "W" bar. This is where the second bar is attached to the first or third bar and forms the letter u or w. That is what I am seeing in the pic you provided. It might help to post a few more pics when he is displaying some different colors. Ambilobes usually have bars that are more in the shape of a "V"
 
Thank you about the info on the locale I will post some more pics soon also should I have some pics of when hes not resting
 
I still lean towards Sambava. A fired up pic will help. They can fire up orange and yellow with red bars.
 
1 thing ive noticed as that since we bought him recently and hes already jeuvenile hes still not tame so when i get near is throat gets really red also when i turn off the lights l and look at him when hes asleep he turns red
 
I finally got a sorta fired up pic the only thing he does is his beard gets completely red
