can we tell if im male or female?

[VARNYARD]

This thread has helped me confirme that my tegu is a girl. I measured her and checked her vent for buttons but so far nothing. And at 23", I think it's safe to say so too.

I would say without much doubt at all 99% all girl.

This is an animal under 2ft long, look at the button, you must look close at this age/size, but it is there:

This is females, note, no button:

Bobby - thanks for clearing this up. I knew I saw something on Lucky but he was small and I wasn't positive. Now he's bigger and his buttons are becoming slightly more pronounced. I have a pic on this thread of Lucky's buttons a month ago:

Thats a real nice pic but people will need a pic of the vent and a pic of the head from above to search for spurs and jowls. real good clear pic though.

Ok MrTegu....Here's a pic of the vent and a head shot....What do you think?
BTW....That red/orange color on his underside, is that due to being a juvenile? I have noticed other tegs on here that don't have that color, but maybe they are adults.

I find it rather hard to see if there's any buttons in that shot, but I can tell you that the orange belly is normal. Tegu's turn that color while hibernating.
