Looking female.Is it possible to tell the gender from this photo?
If you google up sexing tegus, there are some good visuals to show the difference in scalation between the sexes.Do you have any pics or vids that I can see to help me check? @Walter1
Yes. Looks very much to be a male. I wish I could show you on the picture. If you draw a line south from the edge of the cloaca just to before the tail, you'll see a short line of three rows of large scales. That says male.Is this picture better? @Walter1
You're welcome. The gender won't matter.Thanks! So it is a male after all actually happier that I don't have to rename him lol and also I have a question do you know if male genes are more dominant then females on tegus? So let's say I have a albino tegu would being a male make it a higher change of them coming out more albinos or gender doesn't matter? @Walter1
Close, but no. Below the red line to the right. Below the right edge of the "smile".@Walter1 ^ is that what you are talking about? .-.
YES!!!!!!! Bullseye! Ha!
I don't know for sure but might be too young for their formation. So, maybe, but don't sweat it if you don't. Feel around the side of the "smile", south to the enlarged scales you just circled. See what happens.I knew I'd get it! Now I have to flip my "girl" over and take a look. I thought I felt BB's earlier. Should BB's be palpable at 17"?
