Here is my really cool pair of savanna monitors. I love these two!They are such relaxed lizards. The larger of the two is really orange/red but it doesn't show up too well in the pics. The smaller one I have posted before, but wanted to show some contrast between the pair. I have another supposed female (I guess you don't know for sure until they lay eggs) I will post pics of her later.She is very ornate on her neck patterns and is as light as the the smaller one in this pic. But, she has more of a greenish tint to her legs and more orange in her belly pattern.

-What do you guess the sexes are on these? I think the smaller is a male and the larger a female.I have seen the smaller one evert a pretty good sized hemipene one time.I mean, good sized (kinda freaked me out)

The only reason I think the larger is a female is by comparing the two of them in shape directly past the cloaca and by her(??) little head.Let me know what you think!

Thanks,Aera
