Smile Hello All! My Savannah Monitor Photos

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?

Re: Hello All! My Savannah Monitor Photos

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.

Re: Hello All! My Savannah Monitor Photos

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

Re: Hello All! My Savannah Monitor Photos

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