Nope I just cant tell by photos. There are some ppl on here who own multiple tegus and have done this hobby for years. I'm sure they can go by photo. It seems chill enough to let u feel around there though. U dont have to press very hard and basically the older they get the easier it is to see or feel. U can go by raised scales near that area to.

The vent looks pinched forward. Need a flatter aspect.
