    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi, I currently have a 6ft 2inch male black throat, and what I thought was a 3ft female but just a couple months ago turned out to be another male. I'm very interested in getting a female for my big guy. I have all my pets registered with permits, lots of experience taking care of these guys, they have free roam in my home as well, my big boy here just turned 3 in december

I'll be deploying soon and will have to rehome my Blackthroat.

I think it is female. I believe this becuase sometimes when it poops or sometimes when I piss it off it will extend from either side of it's tail what looks kinda like penis's. But becuase it splits to the side and not extend downward I think it's a female. Correct me if I'm wrong please. It is not easy to find sexing diagrams on these lizards.
 
sexing black throat monitors

this gives you a general idea on how to sex them, I know that my 2 males when they stick out their hemipenes they kinda jet out to the sides, my large male's are like 3-4 inches long and they get big in the end. I took my smaller monitor to the hamburg pa reptile show 2 times to see if someone could tell me the sex, they said it was female 2 times b/c they couldn't get him to pop the hemipenes. then one day a couple of months ago just before he too a poop i saw them, they were identical to my large male just a little smaller b/c of size difference. Its very hard to get these creatures sexed when they are smaller, but if you do in fact have a female then id love to take her off your hands. another note when they poop they invert their hemipenes just a little bit not all the way so sometimes they can appear to look like that of a female, Ive noticed when my big guy walks around and passes gas he will stand there and invert the entire thing and let out a foul odor(monitor fart), he also leaves a white mark on a lot of things, I guess its his way of marking his territory, I do not know if the females do this, I haven't seen my smaller one ever mark anything. Ive been really looking for a solid guide online for sexing monitors but haven't really had any success. Some pictures of the female anatomy would be great. I think I'm actually gonna start a new post to see if it brings up a definitive pictures.
