I have trouble determining gender on lowlands blotchies myself, so I have no idea. But that second blotchie is a cracker.....for a tasie.

Long bod on first one makes me think female,second one perhaps a young lass to,sub adult,or a very fat young male,im more leaning female though

Tail looks to be healing fast,tough buggers

i thought female on both too, im finally starting to get the hang of it. however a wild one with no mating scars threw me off with the second one. but do still think female.
im about to make another thread on how some people sex them down here which i always though was harmful for them, richard, id be interested in what you have to say or think about it

90% probability, both female.

Some dont get bad mating scars,usually its only when a few males want to cover them or the female makes them work,some lasses show zero scarring but have good litters,so scarring isnt always a good sign for sexing
