Tegu's too! Man your collection is looking better and better! I love my Goldens but they are spaztic little things! I hope I have a pair! Their vents look a lot different.I am not comfertable enough probing them. I love Tegus they are highly underated. That is a great looking one too. I have never seen one with that much black on the head before. Pretty cool looking!

Tim, I'am pretty sure there are easier ways to sex the Tegus without probing them. Put up a picture of the "pair" and maybe you can get some guesses..

you can sex them with your index, males have hard scales clusters on vent side, females also but you cant feel them.

Male top female bottom, you can clearly see the clusters on male, but more important you can feel them with your finger, you can sex Tegus at any age like this. You can also see the femoral pores on male. These are red Tegus didn’t want to disturb BW again today.

Crap well if females don't have those pores then I have two males. That sucks I was hoping! Ones pores you can feel better then the others. Damn it I am so disappointed now. Although I got them both for free I was hoping I could offer some CB babies in the future. Oh well maybe another one will come around. SOL!

The clusters can be 2-7 enlarged scales, even if you see them in females you won’t feel them with your finger, all you need is to sex a pair and you will immediately know

Oh thank Steeve that pic is great! I have learned something very useful. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. All I was told in a previous post was all you can do is probe. Well I will check again. Awsome.
That's a great pic. Look at the teeth!

I dont know? and aim not going to try it! they have a prety violent head shake and death roll, my guess whod be if you ever get bitten hold on tight to the lizard, what ever you do dont let go of him befor he lets go of you, Tegus will make sure they kill your hand befor they release it.
Ps. the good thing about them is they usualy dont bite!
