Gender?

[rsbenedict]

Hi, All!

I'm new to reptiles and tegus specifically. I picked this guy up from my local reptile store. They said he was 6 months, but I don't think he's that big to be 6 months. What do you think?

Also, looking to see if anyone can determine it's gender. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't look to have any large scales near its cloaca.

Right now I have him in a 4x2x2 and will upgrade to an 8x4x4 when it grows bigger.

By the way, it's supposedly a blue.

He's beautiful whatever he is!
IMHO the jury's out until they reach sexual maturity. Usually by 1.5-2 yrs at least
