Hello Everyone, this is my first post so thought I would introduce my Savannah Monitor. Currently I am unsure of the sex although I am swinging on the female side, what's your thoughts? :)

How can you tell by their faces? Can someone post photos of the differences between males and females?

Males have sharper, more elongated faces. Females have blunt and rounded faces.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong... don't females have an overbite (cleft) for sampling soil conditions??

Hmm, maybe the topic deserves a page on savannahmonitor.net.. It would help with these questions.

Ive seen males and females with all of the attributes mentioned short blunt faces long faces, inc clefts

Only way to be 100% is Eggs or evertion.
