Are female Variegatus totally void of spurs ?

I was checking out my banded yesterday and notice that it has spurs . They are not huge and It almost looks like its developing bulges . So maybe my female is male ?

Hi,

Pictures are better, try these:

The males have distinct spurs females may have a very slight bump (see first link). Also, yours should be big enough to see the hemipenal bulge, which is quite obvious in mature males.

Regards,
John

ps. see the rest of the first link;
