Ok my tegu is 7 months old 29" long give or take a half an inch, I bought him or her from Rick and he said he probed his babies and that he was a male which is what I asked for. Now I have taken a look at the vent and do not see any buttons, what is the so called dead line for size where if you dont see buttons it is definately a female?

I can see the bumps at about 17-20 inches. You can also feel them right behind the vent on both sides of the tail.

Here is a picture of them:

Hmm I am thinking I have a female then I have some pics but I have to get the cable so I can upload them onto the computer. Does anyone know what the average size of a female is length and weight? I am really just hoping for a big tegu.
