Thank you for replying to me message,

I understand everything you said, so thank you. I do want to say that the one Mali (named koofoo) you and I both think is a male (the one that is 8 inches and bobs his head when around the one who rolls over)is my lightest lizard in color. He is a light tan on his head, back, and tail and when he is under the light his under side, from his head to his belly turn white. The one who rolls over when around Koofoo (named Cairo) is darker on his back with a black tail and a darker brown head, but who also gets a white belly when in the light.

Maybe I have males who mimic female and female who mimic males. I am in the process of evaluating each of their behaviors when paired in twos (I am pairing each one with another lizard each time, so I can pair each possible set together). I also am recording their distinct features of them like; color, femoral bulges, himipenal bulges, and size.

I am sure with all of these factors I am recording I am sure I can make an to which are males and which are females.

Thank you very much for your answer,
Natalie
