Bobby, do you find that these giants, especially the males, have any type of arthritis problems as they grow older? It seems like they're carrying a disproportionately large amount of bulk on their skeletal structure.

Not at all, they are 100% normal, tegus have much more bulk than any of the monitors. Some people try to compare them to monitors but they are in no way related, tegus have a much larger frame.

Those are the jowls, the males have them, the females do not.

oh okay. what are they tho? are they like fat pouches or extra skin?

It is jowls, or muscle. It is not like a double chin in humans.
