[Deac77]

Tegu they say she's 2 years old 30 inches never hibernated and is fed a diet of roaches with like 2 mice a week she seems really small but the price is really pretty awesome and shed be a pet what do y'all think here is some pics I'm not sure it's a she!!

If it's just for a pet sex shouldn't matter! If it's cheap and you want it as a pet then get it, although it is small for it's age.

I know it's small but pets need names! And you don't name a girl tom!

Don't the cheeks indicate a male? Or are the male cheeks even bigger than that?

That's what I was thinking lol!

At 30in they should be able to feel the buttons which would indicate it being a male. Personally, I think it's too small to tell based off of head etc., but I'd go with female.

Some females are a little cheeky just not as much as males with jowls. At 2yrs old and 30 in I would agree with female. I see no signs of it being males, no bb's and the femoral pores are not as pronounced as males.

My only concern would be what looks like a growth on her bottom lip. That one red bumpy spot got me thinking about this thread that Laurarfl posted on the other site.

Maybe just a coincidence that they're both Reds but I wonder what that looked like in the beginning and as it started to grow.

Oh wow thanks for pointing that out! I don't really want to inherit vet bills...

It could be something or nothing but should be looked at just in case,.. who ever gets it. Even mention it to the owner if you haven't already. For them to have it checked out and or make sure anyone interested is aware of it.

Yea I plan on it thank you! He seems like a great guy so I doubt he'd get offended
