Help sexing my Chinese fire belly newts

Hi guys, I recently purchased a Chinese fire belly newt and I am struggling to tell its sex, I have a few photos and any help would be hugely appreciated thanks!

Hi, welcome to the site.
Hmm, I'd say female, but it's not blatantly obvious in those pics, could you get a good shot from the side?
I will say it looks very healthy and well fed. Here's the care sheet if you haven't found it already.

I hope these help, and I hope its not a girl, as I've just purchased a female for breeding purposes.

I've also got another photo of him or hers underbelly I hope this helps.

In my opinion it's a female, looking at the tail length and sharper shape plus quite small cloaca. But I could be wrong as well

I agree, to me it looks like a female.
