Nope that doesn't mean no fighting Females can be just as bad as males sometimes, especially with Hermanns.
It's the outer edges of the femoral and anal scutes, the opening of the anal scutes above the tail and the size of the tail. The cloaca is close to the body (which says female), the anal scute opening is a tight V (which says female) and the edges of the femoral and anal scutes form a straight sloping edge (which says female).
