im not so sure that last one is female (ok, im not an expert) but i was told that the patterns like that occur more often on males of the species...

yea, theres a lot of different characteristics that could help give a "best guess" as far as the sex, and im not saying 100% that all those will turn out female, but i've got a pretty good guess. as for that picture, sure it is a little more patterned than the average female, but also look at the spiked scales on the sides are not very large. obviously, the tail isnt notched. there is almost no presence of a white tear beneath the eye. there is no big black blotch on the back. theres just more pointing towards female. but only time will tell!

True, all other factors are for female. Fair point. Also, is it just me, or is the tail significantly thinner and smaller than those on the others? Looks to me almost as if its an enlarged ebanaui tail :?

yea, the tail is pretty thin....but tail width can vary greatly. the broadest tail ive ever had was on the otis, the male i sold to ryanm. the thinnest tail belongs to a female i just got about 2 months ago. but that tail is a lot longer than any ebenaui.
