Juvie Tegu sexing question

[Mario]

Good morning,

I have two 10 month Tegus and I decided to try and sex. The big one I thought was a male because of some Jowl I felt around and did not feel a "BB" on it at all, on my smaller one I thought was a female I felt around and on one side I felt a little nub (guessing that's the BB everyone talk about) but did not feel it on the other side. Is it possible that only one is mature enough to be felt?

Please post good side shots of the lizard and clear close up of the vent area. Will take a crack at it.

Ok it took awhile but I have finally been able to get my tegus comfortable enough to allow me to pick them up and take pictures. Sorry for taking so long to post but I did not want to take a step back in the trust I was building.

I think female

This one I think is male

Pleased to here your comments/ thoughts.

Hi Mario,

Thanks guys, sadly these guys are coming up on one year and I had made major progress. I was able to take them out without a problem but 3 days of tong feeding them hopper mice in their enclosure that were leftover from my weekly ball python baby feeding they are extra aggressive. I been hanging in there through the bites but these guys are coming up at a year old and it's starting to hurt. I think I will never feed in the enclosure again and will need to start wearing gloves.
