That's tough, I'm not up to speed on sulcata sexing, but my vote is male for both. Can you get a shot of their tails?

It could go either way, and seeing the tail would help with the guess...

Last pic is Tony known male...The first two pics are from what I was told is a female...

The tail on the maybe female is shorter than Tonys ...But is not a stub it does fold over to the side...The plaston is flat..

I think both those pictures show a male sulcata.
