Wow, RFBT that is so cool. I've seen the red tegus at the reptile shows they look like an awsome animal. Congrats on your new family addition.

I just googled red tegus. Fasinating creatures. From what I saw jowls are charastic of the species not a secondary sex trait. Still wondering how they sex them short of probing.

i think most male Lizards have the spines to hold them in place. snakes generally have the spines too.
