Tail shape differences in young marms.

I noticed some time ago, but it´s a lot more obvious now, that one of my juvies has a way broader tail than his sibblings. I mean like thrice as broad, and a different coloration. Also the others deffer between them in different degrees.
I read some post here of karelinii or cristatus larvae having different tail shapes depending if aquatic or terrestrial, as an adaptation. But my marms are all completely terrestrial....so any idea what this means??? Maybe a very very early sign of it being a female Ô_o? They are just under 6cm long so i doubt it...but hey i´m a noob.
Any idea

ok now this is weird....first they are actually 7cm long....hadn´t messured them since two weeks so the other info was old hehe. Second...what i commented in the previous post was two days ago....but now i was feeding them and noticed three of them with that condition...so there a re three with a broad tail and three with a normal rounded one.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail.
