Please can someone help me with sexing, I have tried so hard to do this and have watched so many YouTube clips and I get the femoral bumps but I can't make heads or tails of the ....well tails. They all look the same to me. Lemon and butter are pretty obvious because I was told what they are but Chomp (the big fatty) is the one that confuses us so much. We were told Chomp was a boy but he displays none of the behavior of Butter, he does not go Black beard or frantically run around or try climb the walls like Butter. I am assuming here that all boys are like that but these are our first dragons so we are still learning so please correct me if I am off base.
Lemon the little skinny girl is so delicate and gentle, she is a sweety and snuggles and just flops when picked up and Chomp is the same way. He/she just chills all day and loves cuddles and to be held. Neither try run or escape or anything ever, but Butter is a Houdini and runs at the first chance. I was told he hated being handled by men (his previous owner was male, so I suspect he was never fully tamed) but sometimes he is so relaxed and flattens like a pancake and goes the colour of butter when comfy on us, hence the name 
Now here is the thing....I had to bath them the other day when I was working on the tanks and I thought it would be a good place to introduce them but on opposite sides of the bath. Chomp immediately puffed up and charged across the bath and attacked Butter hard, I pooped myself cause it was totally unexpected. He/she was vicious and while they are the sme length, chomp is Massive compared to Butter and I know real damage could have been done if I had not separated them.
A few days later I had Lemon and Butter on the floor with my kids and Chomp was on my lap and the next second He/she charged straight down my leg (first and only time he/she has ever gotten off me) and went straight for Butter, I grabbed Butter and put him in the tank and when I turned around he/she was going for Lemon. Anyhow today I am holding Chomp again and my son is holding Butter and the next second he ran off my son, up my leg and mounted Chomp doing the neck grabbing thing and all that. Chomp waved his/her arms around like mad and just lay there, I took Butter off and put him back in the tank. But I am totally confused about who is a he and who is a she.
I took some pics of all 3 today in the hopes one of the many experts here can help me figure out who is who in the he/she zoo I am running.
Many thanks.
LEMON (Girl I think)

Head
Body length is app 40cms
Face so pretty and delicate
CHOMP (???)

Body length is app 40cm but has a very stumpy tail so with a full tail I suspect Chomp would be well over 50cms.

Lemon & Butter bathing, this was the day last week they were sick and I was advised by the Petshop to put Energade in the water bowl so they could lie in it and hydrate.
Chomp bathing
Thank you
