i have some bad pictures and i hope it would be enough... i will make more pics in a few days and post it here... question is : sex?

[Jen]

We need to see a picture of the vent area and the pores on the legs to be able tell the gender. About how old is your Ig?

[deanie]

jfogle is right on seeing the vent area to determine the sex if it is old enough. That is the best method of determination. But after looking at these photos, I think that you COULD be looking at a Male.
In my eyes [and they could be wrong so don't take this as the gospel] but I see the jowls starting to drop and spread and the head crest is way high. I also see that he is a young juvi, that some time not too long ago dropped some of his tail. The regrowth on the bottom of the tail isn't that long.
Again like jennifer asked,, How old do you think this guy is!!??

[cile]

thank you people... i really don't know how old is he... i get him a few weeks ago, he was in very bad condition... he hasn't enough a humidity and his old skin was on his body making a very gruesomely smell... a top of his tail is broken and i waiting to lapse... he is very aggressive and i trying to work with him very slowly... his ex owner didn't know to tell me how old is he...
thanks for helping...

P.S. i hope you will understand what i trying to tell you cause i think i am not good enough with my English...

You're English is just fine. If there is anything we don't understand we'll figure it out.

The smell worries me. Even old shed should not smell unless his old home was very dirty and he sat in his excrement. If his old cage was clean, then it could be internal parasites or the break in his tail could be infected. Both of those problems can have a bad smell to them. I'll try to remember to look at the pictures when I get home. I can't see them from my work computer.

[cile]

the tail is ok... not infected... but smell comes from that old skin... there were 2 stratums of old skin, i increase a humidity and that old skin is lapse now... there is just 1 stratum on his leg now... that smell is much lessen then before... he has a good appetite and i am not worry about that...

[prism_wolf]

That's good to hear. What is the humidity right now? Do you have an instrument to measure that?

[cile]

no i haven't any instrument... i using water and spray him every day... is that enough?? we haven't any shop where i could buy some instruments about that...

[prism_wolf]

You might have a shop you can get an instrument through. Here we have thermometers and humidity gauge combinations. If you don't have those there then you maybe able to purchase something online. Many of the really big suppliers in the U.S. and Europe ship outside of the country.

Misting is a good thing. Keep doing that. Once you get to where he will allow being handled more you can also give him baths. Many freak out at first when they get into the tub for the first few times. Mine did, but know he will spend all day long in there as long as I keep reheating the water... ;D

i hope that is a good one pic......

[deanie]

[Jen]

Im not 100% sure but looking at the pores Im going to say you have a boy. It looks like wax plugs may be starting to form in the pores.

[cile]
