Only males with the jowl popping?

So...is it only males that jowl pop? Cuz, Aesop seems to be doing it. Every time I get near him now, he starts to do it (I think...I watched somebody's video with the red tegu jowl popping and it looked similar)...

Or, am I just on a wishful thinking bender?

That was the one! I'm going to do a button-check this evening...

Poor tegu, getting groped and whatnot.

I saw tonkadoing thi the other day I have no idea why he was just sitting there doing it. Maybe he realized he could his jowls are quite small though.

When I got tonka a few weeks ago I could not feel them I was wondering if he was male. Today He is sehdding I decided to see if I could feel them. They are very noticeable they seemed tohappear overnight. Maybe your guy is just to little still.
