Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone could tell the sex of my tegu. He/she is 12inches snout to vent, and is about 10 months old. I have yet to see hemipenes or sperm plugs however.

Looks male, it's kind of hard to tell with his pattern but I see two bb's, or bumps kind of like pimples, one on each side of his tail just below the cloaca. You can feel them also to verify. Females don't have those.
0.1.0 BP (Spiral) aka Rita Wayward

I think ive felt some before - but I dont know if I am feeling correctly, since he is young will they be a bit smaller and harder to feel?
They might get bigger. The hemipenes and the spirmplugs don't always come out. Most of the times it's when it's breeding season.
