Ok, here are my three Argus monitors that I own. Hopefully these pictures are better than the last ones I tried.

Top pic is a male Argus. Look at the massive front arms (hint).
Second pic is a female of an Argus crossed with a flavirufus at some point, but not full PNG Argus patterned. Still it has the classic features of a female with dainty front arms, pear shaped body and no real hemipenal bulges on profile and a generally slimmer tail.
Third animal i'd need another shot angle.
As adults, Argus females are usually 3 to 3.5 ft long max while males get much larger in the 4'+ range. Big size difference dimorphism.
