What do you guys make of this Buttons? or no? These are the pics of the scales i have been questioning for some time now, since rayne is 3' and i still cant feel them, i never seen anything like this on my females, im wondering if perhaps being with storm is somehow suppresing his male characteristic development, he is getting jowly about the same as stormWhat do you guys make of this Buttons or no These are the pics of the scales i have been questioning for some time now, since rayne is 3' and i still cant feel them, i never seen anything like this on my females, im wondering if perhaps being with storm is somehow suppresing his male characteristic development, he is getting jowly about the same as storm

I don't see any. Did he hibernated ? Just because you don't see them yet it doesn't mean that he is not a he yet ;) . I got both of my two All Americans from Bobby and he probed them. Shakespeare is a lot bigger then his sister Venus but doesn't have the BB's yet either. They both did hibernate 7 to 8 months in 09 and 10. When Tegus hibernate it takes alot longer for them to mature.

Thanks, they both hibernated 6 mos but after hibernation they both took off in growth spurts, i dont know if you can see them but there are 2 scales on each side of the vent that are larger than the surrounding scales, its just for my sake of knowing lol im happy with this tegu either way

My male extreme popped bbs when he was about 8 inches long snout to vent. I've had some male tegus come in at that size and have bbs and than others that waited to pop them until they were atleast 20 inches snout to vent. I don't see any, and they are pretty pronounced. My female b&w (3 yrs) also has more jowels than my male giant (2 yrs), I'm thinking he just hasn't grown into them yet. Could you post some pictures of his face and the 'jowels' that are starting to appear? :)

does the coloring on the stomach mean anything towards what sex they are? ive 2 and the one i thought was a girl, who turned out to be a male, doesnt really have any coloring to his stomach but my other, who's bigger but i dont feel BBs, has a bright deep orange on its stomach like the pics of Storm, just alot more orange
