I have no clue how to sex tegus. I had mine probed before I got him.

 

[SnakeCharmr728]

both look male to me. using the scales as a judge

 

[Renske]

These are 2 females.

 

[Matthew Krzemienski]

Haha. How do you know?

 

[TegusRawsome80]

I would also guess 2 males. It looks like they have beads, although pics can be misleading. Feel the side of their tails near their vents for two small "bbs". If they have them they're male, if they don't they're female or to small to sex.

 

[Matthew Krzemienski]

They are only 4 months old

Matt

 

[TegusRawsome80]

I sexed mine at 5-6 months if I remember correctly. Can you feel beads on either of them?

 

[Matthew Krzemienski]

Not yet. Im hoping for a male and a female

 

[TegusRawsome80]

Well duh haha. Isn't everyone? . They're too young to sex imho.

 

[SnakeCharmr728]

I was making my guess off of the scales near the vent opening, not bb's. Males even at young age still have hemipenes which can cause a bit of scale buldge at the opening, so you see more little scales where the little scales are inside the vent at the female... not sure if that explanation makes sense with my bad wording.

It's still a bit early to determine but hopefully you do have a pair @Matthew Krzemienski

 

[Renske]

Its fisible from the day they are born. I have sexed my blue babies and did not have bin wrong bevore.
This is a 3 month old red male:

 

[Renske]

Can you make more clear pictures?

 

[Matthew Krzemienski]

My gus definitely don't have that bump on the side of the vent. Any chance that takes a whole to develop? Or are they females

Matt

 

[Matthew Krzemienski]

This is the best pic I could get of the one I'm hoping is male.

Natt

 

[Renske]

Yes 100% 2 females.

 

[Matthew Krzemienski]

Well that's upsetting

 

[Renske]

You can buy a male and you have a trio. Its better than 2 males.

 

[AssassinExotics]

Yeah 2 females is never bad haha
