Default Help Sex my Wheeleri - Updated pics

I have three wheeleri that I think are getting large enough to sex, at least for some of your more trained eyes. Would like some opinions and I have searched on here for pics but still can't really tell.

As a side note, can someone write up exactly what it is that they are seeing or not seeing to determine sex? Folks weigh in on pics but often don't say why they think what they do.

Scroll to the bottom for the pics, thanks!

So I am thinking #2 is the female, #1 is going to be a really large male and #3 is probably male too. But what do others think?

Im no Wheeleri expert, but I would guess #2 = female, #3 = male, #1 = uncertain/male?

I'm looking at the size of the bulge to determine (males also tend to have a small line/separation in the middle of the bulge).

How old are they?
