if you've seen them mating and they show all the signs of being 1.1, i think that answers your own question.

Thats what i thought till i seen the one on the bottom now on top mating the other

It looks to me that the one to the right in 2nd pic is the male but in order for ppl to help, you would need body, vent, and spur pics. As for mating I have seen some strange well um positions I guess but never a full switch with the other sex on top. What I am saying is during breeding I have caught the females at times where they were twisted invery abnormal positions. This can happen at the time the female is ready to break away.

With no real certainty or substantial experience to justify myself.....I'm going with the one on the right in the bottom pic as being the male.

...with ignorance and arrogance, success is assured.

Thats the one also as i believe to be male as well as the person i got it from believed.
Thanks
