i wanna say female but wont say that for sure. im not sure if the bumps show up at a certain length or age. i have a tegu who was born in june and is belived to be a male but at almost 9 mo. and 4' (excluding the 11" of tail he dropped) their are no bumps so now im thinking female; however he has started to form jowls. sometimes you just have to wait til there a year old i guess. but from what i have read jowls are suppose to form around a year old, bumps should be visible around 2-3'. how long is he/she you can always have her probed by a qualified vet! very beautiful gu btw!
Not sure but im getting male vibes. My tegu Zero is 9 months and 3' on whom I can feel bb's and when he goes to the bathroom and I watch I can see his two "things" pop out. He also has little jowls, I guess it all depends on the tegu themselves much like humans hit maturity at different ages but generally around the same time.

Tegus have hardly any visual differences between gender... The only way you will be certain is to get it probed by someone who has experience with lizards.
