Why are some reds so much brighter?...

[jondancer]

so i'v been looking at a lot of reds, and some are awesome. they always seem to be the big bright males. are females not as red? how do you know as a hatchling if the tegu is going to be as red when older. do they get more red with age? at what age?
thanks
