Turns out my sav is a male :D

Hey! Been a while since I posted here, got a new phone and had forgotten my password…again lol.

Anyways. I seen my sav evert tonight for the first time and looks like he's a male! Thank god cause I'm always paranoid about egg laying, even if they are properly supported lol.

He everted maybe 5 or 6 times over the space of 10minutes. Would there be any possible reason for this? Or is it just one of those things lol

Hi, were they "full eversions", and how big is the monitor?

[fuzzhc]

Yeah I'd say maybe 2inches or so? Last I checked he was somewhere between 2.5-3feet a few months ago. He's a little over a year old

Hi again, I think at that size he`s almost certainly sexually mature, everting the hemipenes several times on occasions is perfectly normal.
Have you any plans now you know gender of trying to find a female and seeing if they want to "start a family"? If yes, it might be best to look for one out of the juvenile stage (maybe 9 to 12 months old and known to have been properly cared for), then after quarantine and acclimation in a separate enclosure introduce them for short periods (strictly supervised, of course).

Good to know mate!

Nah if only I could get another to try breed them I would in a heart beat. But sadly I'm living with my parents unti. Such times as I can afford a house of my own and they just won't agree to a bigger enclosure in the house once I can get my own place however I would very much like to get a female!

Instead of you having to find somewhere else to live, why not suggest to your parents they move, it will make things so much easier for you and the monitor/s....

fuzz, he doesn't mean how long (I don't think). Full eversions on males look like a sea anemone or something. Females can evert as well, males look like this :

[fuzzhc]

Yeah I know, was just saying cause I know males are longer than females lol. Just curious as to maybe why he done it so many times lol found it rather strange

[fuzzhc]

That seems like the most reasonable solution in all honesty. Thanks again mate I'll get working on it ASAP
