In Reply to: Male iguanas vs. females - what are the differences? posted by Lisa on July 09, 2000 at 01:00:29:
As far as differences between male/females goes. Males, as adults, have bigger nunchal spikes, (the ones running from the base of the skull to the curve of the shoulder). Femoral pores,(if you look at your igs underthighs, you will see a series of pores, in females, the pores are closely spaced and small. In males the pores are very large and spaced far apart. Males also get more jowly as they get older.
We can sex at an early age, but it took 10 years to learn to do it and we have a 2:10 ratio, which means we are wrong 2 out of 10 times.
