Default Dominate Female? Help

I have two pair of Lygodactylus willliamsi one I got from LLL Reptiles and the other from a Switzer Reptiles at an expo.

Well the pair I got from Switzer the male was a little on the small side but is very beautiful, the female on the other hand is beautiful as well but huge, she right away was aggrassive toward the male, I now have her with the other pair I have to make them a breeding trio.

Now she is being dominate again, I have not seen aggrassion in toward the other however she is taking over the main basking spot and the other female is up there some times but she literally is on her tippy toes up there.

I'm thinking I might pull the less dominate female out and place her with the small male.

I'm not entirely sure this is a female either I am just going off two things: one they had them paired at the expo and her color, I have read that inferior males can take on the color of females but if she is a male she is acting like a superior male...ha ha ha.

any input would be great thanks, I have them in an 12x12x18 exo terra

Default repressed male was a more vivid, brighter green than the females.

Hi, I had what I thought were a breeding pair, but they turned out to be a beautiful bright blue male, Big Blue, and a beautiful vivid bright green repressed male, Lady boy. When I did split the males into seperate vivs, the green male turned blue & I got a female each for them. The females were a lovely, quite dark coppery green.. completely different from the bright ?leaf green of the Lady boy.
After a couple of months of quite amiable co-existence the male features of the Lady boy developed and the dominant blue male started to harrass him. This was the point at which I seperated them.
