so I got my first clutch of baby tegus and i'm honing my skill in trying to ID gender visually.

Photo attached with an arrow drawn to where I think i should be looking.... and if my estimate is correct this one would be a Female ?

thanks for any input!

Arrow pointing in the correct area (although perhaps a mm or 2 to the left on that side). With the detail in that photo, it's kind of 50/50. With younger tegus it really helps to look at both sides (many breeders claim to have observed females with "one button") and have a very focused, up close picture.
