What is the sex of my tegu?

[Abigail]

I have had him for about a month now, so he is roughly about 10 months, give or take. Ive been wondering on his sex. Ill post some pictures, tell me if you need any extra information.

Anyone have any idea x_x?

Well, your resolution is better than average, but the angles are still not the best. The area of importance is being lost in the folds to either side of the vent post-cloaca.

What would be the best way to get a better picture? He is quite squirmy :S

With an uncooperative tegu? Either anaesthetics, or a second person.

Looks female, I'm not seeing beads and the head appears female. However, the beads could be hidden as Roadkill mentioned. Also, I think he was joking about using anaesthetics, please don't take that seriously lol. Just have another person help you!

Hahaha, i figured he was kidding. He/she is avout 11months
Wouls the beads not be showing at this point? Either way i love the little bugger, but ill have a talk with the person who sold him to me as male

Beads will almost certainly be showing. Baby tegus are impossible to sex, despite common usage of the unnecessary and outdated practice of probing them.

Looks female. At that size, you can feel the bb's if they're there - pointing to male. Beautiful gu!

Alright guys! Tyvm, I thought she was a male due to the jowls but Ill take your word!

Nose to vent he/she is 12inches so I dont know if that means he/she should or not be showing (idk im obviously confused lol)
