that looks male to me ....

What size is it? looks to be about 30" or so (based on the fingers in one of the pics) .. how big is your male?

Just try putting them together but watch ....

not measured her but would say about that size, my male is about 4-5 foot with tail
will they not just fight if they are both male

they may fight anyway regardless of sex - hence the watching ... it's difficult to say .. introduction is always a tricky time, especially when there is such a size difference ... make sure that there are plenty of hiding places for the smaller animal. give it a go.

Looks like you have two males.
When keeping Albigularis together, even males with males, there testosterone levels will drop, if you 'must' keep them together, make sure they have a very large cage, with many basking sites, along with multiple areas to hide, and dig into.
