Hi all

At what age can you tell if a savannah or black throat monitor is male or female?

Thanks

Jonas

Not nesasarly a matter of age or size...
even young male monitors can show large hem-pen bulges if hormones kiks inn.

many captives are late bloomers...being kept alone in mediocre conditions could be the reason...in fact I belive some monitors never exibit sexual dimorphism when highly stressed...subordination also prohibits hormonal changes.

a helthy monitor will show its gender days after hatching

spending to much time on the asian forums...my english is getting worst on every visite...hope you understand my point.
also dont bother with the photo...from the thumbnail I thot they wher babie exanthematicus...old vision.
