"...at what age/development stage they start to become a gender and stay that way"
Monitors have sex chromosomes. Sex is determined when sperm meets egg at fertilization. Figuring out which ones are male and female when young is tricky. The odds (if you know how to calculate simple probability assuming 50% chance for male and 50% chance for female) go way up the more animals you have in your group. It's that simple.
