If you have 3 that are all female, the undersides all look the same I take it? when you see a male you will be able to tell the difference. Males have much larger prenal pores and the area underneath between his legs should be(mine is) shiny waxy looking compared to females. My male was about 9 months before this became real pronounced, but you could def tell he was male compared to a female. Srry lost my sexing pics when hard drive crashed several weeks ago.

My male was nice and just came out on front glass letting me snap a decent pic of his underneath. Hope this will help you.
