Are they females or am I just stupid?

This is a discussion on Are they females or am I just stupid? within the Axolotl Eggs, Larvae & Breeding forums, part of the Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) category; Because I always thought they were females. My male axie Xotl drops spermatophores in the tank pretty often but nothing ...

Axolotl Eggs, Larvae & Breeding Eggs everywhere, how did that happen? Will it be albino or wildtype?

Default Are they females or am I just stupid?
Because I always thought they were females. My male axie Xotl drops spermatophores in the tank pretty often but nothing happens. Are they females or maybe ....slightly males?
Or is Xotl just a poor guy who can't get a girl? (Or his 'funny packages' don't work, if that's even possible in axies)

Pictures below.
Spotl (wildtype, Spotl has a slight lump when you look at the right side, but it looks less on the left side)
Pangifrane (leucistic)

Sure look like females to me and quite likely full of eggs.

Thanks!
I already thought that they looked like 'egg bellies'. But they don't want to breed somehow. My male axie keeps dropping spermatophores and the girls ignore it.

Or they are just waiting for the right moment...
