[MrBinty1440]

@YogurPodrido lol yea she was mad at me and trying to show off how big and bad she thinks she is

Melissa Kaplan said in her book or on her website, Can't remember exactly where I read it that male Iguanas develop tiny notches at the bottom of their dewlaps. And some submissive males might not get those impressive jowls at all

[MrBinty1440]

@RidolfC well they may get holes or tares if the dewlap gets so big they step on it all the time and yea some male igs are just not as aggressive or dominant and have smaller jowls, there are also sneaker males who want to look more like females so sneak in and mate with the females when the big male igs are fighting

@tubatalk509 sometimes they can be more aggressive than females.like during breeding season.but my male iguana never gets aggressive,but he did bite me when we first got him because he wasn't tame,but he was only a baby.

Also im sure you can tell from just looking at the iguana aswell. Most pictures of female iguana's ive seen almost look more efeminate anyway. You just have to look very closely with baby iguana's perhaps to make out suttle differences.

[tubatalk509]
