In the wild they are very smooth. When raised in captivity they sometimes dont get the proper humidity, moisture, diet, excercise, sun , hydration so they are more bumpy or have big growth lines. You can do as much as possible to meet the requirements and they will come out smooth

The tails are indicating female but the ventral scutes are indicating male and female. So still a guess but hope for a pair.

Hey sometimes I've been dead on even with 3" redfoots. But only nature can know. It's only a matter of time before they're much bigger. Should hit a good growth spurt in 6" range, and really be able to tell.
