That's interesting because No 1 has been trying to mount 2 and 3, i now know that this can be a dominant thing, among females

hmm i still think male for number 2.. there is a definate indent between the scutes, and the tail is starting to look slit, but i'm not sure about other ways of telling.

I think your going to have to wait for Danny to come back for a deffinate answer on all 3!
