The female is very beautiful. Her nose reminds me of a conifer seedling or a tip of new growth in a conifer. You are reserved whether or not you will keep them?

I am hoping to put up Gravid female pics up soon in the reserved post.

Do you have any close up shots of the male's underside or hemipenal bulges? It looks like you may have two females...

I wish I did. I can assure you that it is a male . I have two others just like him.

I believe you. My female looks very similar to that and I have limited experience with them, so was just curious. How big is your group?

 

[Joery]

first one is definately a male, you should look at the black shoulder patch and the orange/red nose, no doubt about it.

best regards

Very nice Ryan. That is definitely a 1.1 pair, as you said. Its interesting though because the female's horn is very elongate (more elongate then most females) and the male's horn has been worn down to a length most similar to females. . The coloration of the horn (red/brown in males and green/blue in females) has always been accurate in sexing adults in my experience, however. I can definitely see the bulge in the second photo of the male though.
