"sex was determined by the following: radiograph of the hips due to pelvic variations between the two genders, social interaction among a large group of animals, and close observation of defication due to the frequency with which hemipenis can be seen in a young deficating male monitor. Sexual dimorphism can also be noted in the shape and proportion of the head and neck even in young animals."



This was posted on another forum I was reading and thought it was interesting. Just wondering if there was any truth to this, because KS forum has way more experienced members with monitors then the one that the above quote was posted on. Thanks.
