look like they are all males, generally males have a red stomach, females dont.

Thats what I thought! But a guy who was gonna swap a female for one in the first photo tells me it is a female. He mentioned colours, head size, something about scale structure?
Thanks for the reply..

Both sexes can have a red chest although males is usually brighter, I'm no expert either but I think you have two females (first and last) and a male in the middle (going by head size and shape), males generally get larger than females as well.
Hope that helps.

Thanks jordo!
Not a noticeable difference between them in size. Middle one seems to have larger spines on head. First and Last are from same clutch and the first is a fat bugger.... Has been for a while and doesn't seem to be slimming. The second definately has more red on chest.

female, female, male, possibly male and female.. that's my guess. It's easy to tell during breeding season
