Gender question

So, I was looking at a picture on here of Otis (Newfgal’s dragon) who is just over a year old. It confused me. My dragon is going to be two in February. He is about 25" long but does not look hardly at all like the male I saw. His spikes are short, he doesn’t really have a black stripe, and he just doesn’t look as filled out. Don’t get me wrong, he eats a lot and is very healthy (as far as I know) and I’ve had him for almost a year and a half. He also has very pretty yellow/orange armpits but I don’t know if that has anything to do with his sex.

So I guess my question is, can someone verify that he is, in fact, a "he"?
Or maybe some dragons just mature a lot slower than others? I was pretty confident that he was a "he."

Here he is:

I forgot to get pore shots, let me know if you need them.

Thanks!

Gender question

i see 2 lumps under the tail. i say boy.

the crest could look female at this point females sometimes have tall crests but the hemi bulges never lie if you can see them then its a boy! (sometimes they take time to develop though)

Gender question

I saw the two bumps also, and thought male. But aren’t the bumps in the wrong place? They look different from the pictures that I saw. Perhaps I’m just paranoid now, but I’d like to know for sure.
I got much better pictures today. I hope these help.

thanks for your help and patience!

Gender question

i would say female due to size and lack of femoral pores
