Swiss cheese vine or monkey mask? It’s been getting leggy that’s what is making me question it.

It’s definitely a Monstera adansonii. It goes under the names of both Swiss cheese vine and Monkey mask.  
The legginess is caused by environmental factors or age.

If the leaves are very narrow it could also be the ssp. laniata or M.adansonii narrow form 🌿

Thank you! I’ve been going back and forth looking at different pictures and just trying to get it to fill more.

You’re welcome ☺️

you can prune it back a bit and use the tips for propagation. When the cuttings has grown roots you can plant them together with the mother plant to make it fuller. 🌿

Either Monstera Adansonii or Monstera Obliqua
