I'm not sure if your al is gravid. The way that the head is set off from the neck makes it look kind of like a male, but it could just be an effect of the angle. Do you have a straight down shot? It's a little early for them to be that far along too and the hind legs look very thin. I'm wondering if the bloating could be due to some other factor.

I've attached a picture of a mature male and female southern alligator lizard. Mature males will have much broader more triangular heads. You can start seeing a difference in head shape at about two years old, but it doesn't become really obvious until the lizards are at least four. Lizards the size of your guys will however be ready to breed.
