Lucky (Pics!) UPDATE

[ashesc212]

Here are some pics of Lucky that I took today. He is approximately 35" long already and about 3" wide in the widest spot when lying down.

The newspaper is 12".

Thanks for looking!

Well, she eats what she wants, what more can I do? Oh well.
It'll be interesting to see how they all measure up here by end of summer.

LOL!!! I'm beginning to think so too! He just doesn't want to stop...

We feed him fish a lot and at first we were buying frozen packets and slicing it for him...then we realized that some of those packets were from China! Maybe that's it haha! JKJK I doubt that would be it but he is feeding on American fish these days.

If you really wanted to know the sex, couldn't you just look to see if he or she has studs by the vent? I would think this would be the easiest way to sex your tegus.

It would, but that Tegu has the small jowls just like his Father, the Mother doesn't have any. Here's an older pic of the 2 from the top. You can tell the male (top) from the jowls and a slightly longer snout.

Are the jowls small on Blues?

 

[DaveDragon]

Re: Lucky is approx. 35" already!!! (Pics!)

Yes, because they are smaller.

Your male the last time I saw some pictures, seemed to have some good sized jowls. Do you have any recent photos?
