Sexing my verrucosus

[gord]

Here are two pics of what I think is a female Verrucosus. Any guesses out there?

I'll post a pic of my other V, "the male", when it come out of hiding.

As promised here is my "male". I'm going only by relative size and the very high tail. I was not able to differentiate the cloaca between the two..so this may actually be a female. This was also the first of my newts to go aquatic and it almost immediately developed the tail. This one has done some tail fanning,but is generally a bit more shy and retiring all around. It's a bit smaller than the other one as well, but is still quite large. Doubled its food intake when it went aquatic.
