Stop anthropomorphizing! They are not "domestic partners"! Leave your own homoerotic fantasies out of this. The little tegu is the big tegu's wing man. If released into the wild, They would go to the nearest tegu pickup bar and put the moves on all the tegu ladies! The big one would get the hottest babe and the smaller one (wingman) would get the slightly less hot best friend. The next morning, they would be OUTTA THERE, and back in their cage like nothing happened leaving a trail of broken female tegu hearts. Not that I'm anthropomorphizing or anything.

If you are referring to parthenogenesis, that isn't bisexuality. What purpose would it serve in nature? If there was a gene that caused a male reptile to seek out other male reptiles, wouldn't that gene die off when the reptile could not reproduce? Nature is a harsh world and the plan for all animals is to reproduce as much as possible before an animal is killed or eaten. There is no time for nonsense. Also, don't put your trust in Wikepedia. And stop anthropomorphizing.

They often sort out territorial rights and other arguements by having sex and seeing who shags who ... Mind you due to the way they are built they often take it in turns to be the top, going from one side to the other and it all comes down to the wrestling in the end ... Stop being such a twentieth century close minded dunce and look at the reality of nature ... they may well breed with a female when she comes along just as easily ... It just isn't an issue ... And something you have no chance of winning an argument about so give up now

Mounting as a sign of dominance is not sex. I think that you may be right though. I came home today and saw that one of my lizards had developed a passion for musical theater. just look at the picture. I'm sorry for my closed mindedness. The lizard might never breed, but he does a great Gene Kelly. BTW, just because you state that you won an argument doesn't mean you have. I will just have to accept my lizard for what he is. Now stop reading Wikepedia and anthropomorphizing. Your tegu is not bisexual. Jeez, I can't write anthropomorphizing any more.
