I searched and didn't find a post that talks about this so here's the question.
When a tegu takes a dump (and probably most lizards as well), sometimes their genitals can be seen. Can I use that to tell if my tegu is a male or a female? What would be the difference?
Thanks.

Males will pop their hemi-penes out and release built up sperm. This doesn't happen every time. Females don't have this option. I wish I was a lizard!!!
Thank's for your help. I guess the female I've had for 7 years now is actually a male...
Hope I never insulted him.

post a pic...you should be able to tell by his head and neck region.
Here's a picture.
One more pic.
Could be a female...the males usually have nice big jowls, especially at 7yrs.
