Question
How do i tell if my giant plated lizard is a boy or girl?

Answer
Hi Leisha, these lizards can be difficult to sex until they are of an adult age. It can be tricky but males will have rows of raised dark bumps on the underside of their back legs near the vent. Females will have light colored smaller bumps or no bumps at all.

If you have a picture you can send me of the underside near the vent I may be able to tell. Do you know how old he/she are?

Good luck
