Hello! I have 2 black and white tegu. When purchased, they were identified as male and female.
But today the woman has definitely become a man. I saw his hemepenis.
However, they get along well with each other.
Therefore, I have suspicions that the second male may be a female. Although this is not accurate. maybe they get along well because they haven't gone through puberty yet.

If I have two males, can they live together? I wanted to have two friendly tegus. It was not a prerequisite to have offspring. I think male and female would definitely get along. But what if I have two males

You can tell if they are male by feeling the side of the coacloa(sp) if male, you will feel a ball on either side that feels like a BB under the skin juveniles usually do well together but keep a close eye! After puberty, there is a big debate over keeping multiple tegus housed together.
