At that size it looks like it is probably a female, males tend to be pretty obvious at a young age.
I would strongly suggest separating them either way though. the smaller one is much thinner suggesting that the larger dominates the food. If it is indeed a female the male will likely be harassing her shortly and she needs to be in much better body condition before mating. Even when you do put them together for mating you should not leave them together, the female needs a break from laying eggs. and if it's just a late developer (possibly due to inadequate access to food because of the larger one) then it needs to be moved anyways to prevent fighting with the other male.

Cheers pal literally had it 2 days got a large female in there to an no signs of baby's yet, I will put the little one into a different enclosure for now and leave the two larger ones in the bigger tank.

Ye that's what I was hoping just went an got a new little viv for the little one. Will try an bulk it up a bit, i was told my big female was a male when I got her. Isit also true that colour of a breeding pair will give all different colour variety of babies for example I have two flame cresties could they produce several different morphs.

They can throw all kinds of random color morphs. But a good majority will look like either parent or a mix of the two.
Have u bred them yourself mine are both just over a year old the female is rather big an chunky with the male being slightly skinnier are they to young to breed. Any tips ?

I've been breeding them for about 4 years now. I think they're extremely easy to breed. The important thing is waiting for your female to be old enough and have the proper weight. I wouldn't breed a female until she's at least a year and a half old and over 40 grams in weight.
Thanks for the help she is deffintley over that weight, do they berry there eggs?
