Krib 1 looks female to me.
Krib 2 is debatable, in the first picture it looks female and in the last it looks male. If I had to guess though I'd say male.
Hope that helps.

Krib 2- male


Good work

Just one more thing, can you please resize your pictures next time you post. They are HUUUGEEEEEE and for the unlucky ones amongst us, like me, who arent blessed with amazing internet connection it took about 10 minutes to load all the pictures lol. Dont mean to sound like a whinge but i'd bet the size of the pictures put a few people off of answering your questions.
