well FR said that sometimes ackies come out half and half , (a he/she or a she/he) so does this mean that they could a-sexualy reproduce????? would it be possile for them to lay fertile eggs????? without a male (or a partner) to fertilize the eggs???? or vice versa

Decided after hatching, in the period of time they first develop or that hes been very lucky at chosing cagemates. They cannot A-sexually reproduce, only feamles can lay eggs. Most people cannot tell a male from a female monitor in general.
Its hard to actually tell what determines their sex in initial development, but it seems to be conditions, such as social groups, environmental need, etc.

oh well i was thinking was he was reffereing to them being hermafrodites, like they have male and female equipment , so i guess i miss understood what he was getting at, i was thinking along the lines of "well if they got bothe organs maybe they could reproduce a-sexualy" but i geuss i was rong bout that, thanks for clearing things up Shvar
