My husband and I have an Iguana (and have had it for 3 yrs now) How do we tell if it is a male or female?!?

Answer 1

you should be able to tell if you can flip it over to look at the undersides of its back legs. there are like little holes there, and if there are hirs coming out of its holes it is a male for sure. if there are no hairs it should be a female. it an still be a male though. if it hasn't reached sexual maturity, it can still be a male, with no hairs. she/he should already reached sexual maturity, but some mature later than others, just like humans. if you take it to another iguana that is the same age and they already know the s*x, you can compare the sizes of the holes. if your iguana'a holes are smaller than the other iguana's, then theirs is a boy and yours is a girl. if theirs is a girl, it will have smaller holes, than yours if it is a boy. remember boys have bigger holes on their legs than girls.

Answer 5

Which one of you does it like to watch undress the most.

Just teasn'.

Answer 6

Males have two bumps by the bottem whilst females have one or none. If you have any trouble go to the vet, but you shouldn't do as if your Iguana is at the age point where it's pretty easy too tell =]

Answer 7

Well, the easiest way to s*x iguanas is through their dewlap, which is that flappy bag under their chin. If this is very big, he is definately a male!

Another way, is, of course, by looking at genitals

this site will help you on that
