if hes 2 years he looks very small for that age, mine was bigger than that at a year old. although i might of just had a fast grower.

he loks relatively healthy but cant really tell much from a photgraph

also in the top pic his dewlap looks see through, this might jus be an optic illusion though

Im sure if you have been feeding him the correct foods and using the right vitamins then he should be fine. A routine chech up wouldnt do any harm if you really want to knw for sure if hes healthy

Looks female to me & looks too young to be 2 years old, nice & green though. You have to spend alot of time in their company & handle them regular, even if it doesn't wanna be handled, show them who's boss. When you go to pick her up , if she tries to whip you don't back off. A little whip never hurt anyone.......

almost impossible to tell, from a pic hence u have two different reports on this thread. can u see any fatty lumps appearing behind eyes? as that would hint at being a male if they continue to develop.

looks really healthy , and u may be happy to know looks similar size to my iggy who is 14 months old.

they grow so rapidly when young, at two years i would expect a litte more muscular bulk on the back legs .

im by no means an iggy expert however ive learnt so much since ive had jeremy .

good luck

ben

I think he looks lovely from what we can see in the pics (yes I think he's a boy, the bulging tailbase is the indicator for me...).

Check out the undersides of his thighs for Femoral pores this might give us a better idea if you have any chance of getting some pics of them I should be possible to tell at that size
