I know this is a young iguana but all of you experts let me know what you think.. Male or female? I can post pics of the femoral pores if needed.. Pictures are with and without flash..

well I'm no expert but I'd guess it's a male as well.

When I had iguanas, mine and my ex's, knew his was a male and thought mine was a female. Turned out mine was also a male but his was dominant... once his iggy was out of the house mine started showing more male characteristics (look wise). I could tell for sure based on the pores at about 3.5-4'.
 
The best way I have found at telling sex when they are young is the pores not so much the appearance of the head or spikes but my guess is probably male also.

Make sure when he sheds that his spikes shed. The tip of the third spike is dead and will break off eventually.
 
im going to say male as well do to the spikes consiering it probaly came from some place that it was housed with other iguana's. its spikes are a little damaged witch would make me think that it was fighting for dominance between the others.
