    Default Am i seeing things?

    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.

    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?
