The pictures are a bit blurry not sure if it’s on my end though. You want to look for an enlarged scale near the cloaca. If you can’t see it then no worries you’ll definitely find out soon whether it’s a boy or a girl. Boys start to develop jaws just shy of a year depending on Burmation also boys will routinely produce a sperm plug within there bowel movements!

Especially with Salvator rufescens, DETAIL is extremely important because they are often very subtle, hard to tell in the manner you are attempting. Here's one of your photos again. Everything outside the red circles is pretty much useless information, it will not help us solve what you are asking. The red circled areas we need to see with sufficient resolution so as to discern individual scales. In your photos, there is a complete lack of focus to even attempt this. That CSI technology of enhancing photos to pull fine details out of nothing doesn't really exist, if the information isn't there to begin with then little can be done to get that information. My suggestion is get two people: one to hold the tegu so that those areas can be exposed well, with no skin folding, no legs in the way, etc.; the other to operate a good camera to make sure they can zoom in to those particular areas and get a picture with good resolution. The typical response is most people just try to take the same photos and for some reason hope this time it works. Might as well flip a coin then, it would have as much accuracy.
