    I could be wrong but to me your Tegu looks like a male. The males have big jowls. But I have seen some with smaller jowls, too. Here is a video you can check out if you like. This will help you on where to check for the bb's.

    My first thought is male, but hard to tell with the jacket on. There are bones, the pelvic girdle, that you will feel as well. The little buttons are like little tiny hard round peas.

    Take clear shots of the cloaca while you're at it, check if you can see of feel one little bump one each side just below the cloaca. They can feel like little round beads, pimples, bb pellets and things like that. Also watch when it poops eventually males start to invert their hemipenes and leave sperm plugs.
