I'm not totally sure if the same applies to Saharans as does Mali's, but the pores going down the entire thigh tell me Male. also being so colorful, (if same as Mali's again) would also make me think Male. Mali females aren't as colorful.
Like I said, not sure if it applies, but if it does, then my vote is male

Yours looks young, but definately male.
It is very brightly colored on the ventral side.

Why would you say that is a male and mine is a female? The coloring is as bright or brighter on mine.. I'm confused now..

I think that femoral pores are only useful in sexing Ornates. I don't think you can use them for mali's, moroccans, or geryi. I'm not sure which sex your geryi is. It's got a bit more color than the usual female, but the pattern on the back seems to go with the females, whereas the males being more colorful have a more unicolor appearance. Does it color up a lot more when hot/basking?
