Ages?

SouthernBel Dec 29, 2003 12:14 PM

Just wondering how old you would, "guestimate," these three to be?
Female - 14" SVL
Male - 12" SVL
Unknown - 7 1/2" SVL (also, at what length/age will this one let me know if it is a male? No signs yet.)
Thanks!

Unfortunatly unless you have had them since hatchling size and had proper husbandry it is hard to access age. I had an adult male that was at least 7 years old and SVL was 4 inchs. The best advice I can offer is that if they are at least 6 inchs SVL there is a good chance they are older than 2. There is an age estimater at Melissa Kaplans website, but with the level of abuse some of these iguanas have had, its hard to even dream of pinpointing an age.
