Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Looks like his glands, I cant remember what they are called...
Males have them I havent see them on females before.
Picture 1 is a male water dragon who is still young, but was sexed by his glands.
Picture 2 is one of my breeder males with the same thing

What you have there are femoral pores which are more pronounced in males and are used to secrete pheromones to mark territory. Completely normal if you were worried.

Someone once told me they were wax? 0_o I've personally also noticed them on Green Iguanas, Rhinoceros Iguanas, Uromastix, and all kinds of other lizards. Weird huh? :P

most lizards have femoral pores, those are definitely what those are. usually more pronounced in males (like that boy) they do secrete pheromones (sexy smells) out of the pores in the for of a waxlike substance that often plugs the pores. that its completely normal. these femoral plugs are often rubbed along the males territory in a scent marking behavior. the only time you should be worried about these pores is if they become inflamed or infected looking, if you think the plug is bothering them, a warm bath can often coax the plugs out with some massaging, but always take them to a vet if you suspect infection or blockages. i hope this helps, i remember when i first saw femoral pores on my reptiles, my bearded dragon had some intense smelling hormones! :P
