the sex of an iguana cannot be determined until the iguana has reached sexual maturity. Juveniles of both sexes look alike and will not show any secondary sexual characteristics until they reach maturity. Sexual maturity in iguanas is a function of size rather than age. Males may become sexually mature once they reach 6" SVL. Females will usually take a bit longer, and will not mature until they reach about 10" SVL. Depending upon the care of the iguana, its age at maturity may vary a bit, but it usually falls somewhere in between 1.5 - 2 years.

A male reaches sexual maturity when the preanal pores are much bigger than the females.
