We had an iguana we named Alexander because we thought she was a boy. She was 2 years old and we had to get a certificate of health when traveling to Canada for work. That is when we found out she was a girl, the vet said with certainty. We left her name as Alexander and she lived 16 spoiled lizard years as our baby.

We got our first beardie ever about 5 weeks or so ago and are unsure of the age but thinking 3-4 months..9", 33g. Not a big deal but we'd like to know if we have a m or f before we are surprised with eggs one day! We used the flashlight method and are thinking boy but when blown up the pics look different so I am posting two pic that are the same only one is blown up and the other is smaller...perhaps the site adjust all pics to a certain size I don't know but I am aware they are both the same.

You would see two balls so to speak in the pic --- it is very hard to tell when they are so young - around 6 months you can post a pic of the vent area tail in the air on a flat surface like a kitchen table --
