Sorry, I have to disagree with Dakman.
From your Pic I think its very likely that the firast animal is a male as well, even though not fully mature.
Females can have some openings in their preanal pores and these can be even relatively big.
But they never have secretions protriuding from thepores as they do inmales. In the most apical pores in your Pic I can see such secretions quite well.
Also size and location of tubercle scales at the base of the tail are indicative in that Pic.
So I am like 80% convinced that also the animal on the gfirst Pic is a male-a lateral and dorsal view of the head would further help my hypothesis.
Anyhow, you should seperate the two-once the new animal will feel at home, it will start to behave lie a male and in most cases this out of a sudden will end in severe fighting.
