I'm starting to hunt for a mate for Puck. Thanks to Eve's vent photos, I figured he was, well, a he. But I'm new to sexing collareds so I figured I'd post a picture of my own for a sanity check -- the scales under the vent are larger than usual, but not as large as in Eve's picture. What do you experts think? Is this a male lizard?

Thanks! Yeah, it seems like it's a lot easier to find solo males than solo females for sale (makes sense, I guess, since you can keep several females with one male) but I'll keep looking. He's starting to develop a little more of an orange tint in the throat since coming out of brumation, which makes me hopeful that if I can find a nice yellowhead female, they'll produce some very colorful babies.
