Go to the Uro forum and ask if they can sex babies right out of the eggs, if they cannot or argue back and forth. Then uros may be similar.
Which means some tests(raising hatchlings together) would be fun.
I wonder if Gilas are the same as montiors. As their hatchlings seem to be of question about sexing.
The Dr. fella that breeds gilas came to my house, he offered a DNA test to sex monitors. I asked if that worked on gilas and he said yes. I asked if they tested it, he said yes. I then asked if they DNA tested hatchlings and raised them up to be the sex the DNA test said they would be, he then said no. I have not heard much about that since.
You see, they would get adults, find a DNA sex marker thats different from males to females. Of course this worked once adult. The trouble is, like with monitors, once adult, they are easy to sex.
As usual, when I asked if it was tested, he confused a lab test, to a actual field test. I guess those two tests came up with different answers.
It would be interesting to see how common this stradgy is, Cheers
