 Spots under chin?

We thought, from what the info we have read that this lizzy was a female?
But the only question still remaining is the part I read that the males have the blue spots under chin? Here are some pics we took of our lizard today, showing it’s underside.
Not much blue coloring on the undersides, but some under the chin in two spots.
Which case would be more the rule of thumb? Less color = female or bluish under chin, though faded = male?

Thanks for your opinion.... maybe we will just pick a unisex name! :)

Also... what age do they get the variant color? It looks as if from head to tip of tail it is about 4 3/4 inches long.

you have a male there. only males get that blue color. as they get older the blue will darken and he will get streaks of blue on his belly.

Wow... so I guess it is still up in the air weather our "Dude looks like a lady" is male or female?? I hadn’t looked on here since Back when I posted this and only ready the first few that thought she was a "she"... now I see she may really be a he????

Anyway... dude is doing well and healthy... the family adores her/him.

I was just popping on to find out any info on the two darker brown streaks she/he is getting on her back latey? It is spring and it may have to do with mating season? I am not sure... I will attach a few new pictures... if anyone has any more advice on her sex... we’d love to know, just out of curiosity (we aren’t going to get another or breed her) THANX!
