Your photo needs to be focused just below the cloaca on either side. You can't be sure from these photos.

Here's the area that we need a close up of. If it's a male, there will be a series of smaller scales, possibly centered around a raised bead in the case of a more mature male. An immature male will have the small scales but the bead may not be noticeable. if it's a female there is no scale differentiation in this area. I can't make it out for sure from your photos.
