I purchased this blue bar Ambilobe panther guy 2 days ago and I believe "he's" male. Please provide your opinions. TIA

I will admit, that little one is difficult to tell for sure but it looks to be a female based off the second picture. I don't see a straight line like you would if he was a male. At this age (he looks small) there won't be any bulge but the line from vent to tail will be straight where in that picture there is an indent.

Also, she looks to have a gular edema? Is her throat always swollen out like that in the pictures or was it just a weird angle / position that she was pushing it out?
 
Just a weird angle. When I purchased him, he had a buldge in the vent area unlike the obvious females. I'll take another pic and post it. Thanks
 
Thanks for the updated pictures. They are perfect and I now agree with you as for him being a male. You can see the start of a bulge in some of them so I change my opinion to male.

I do want to bring up the edema again though as it is clear something is going on that shouldn't be with the little one. I circled the area in red as this area should not protrude out as it currently does. I would reach out to the breeder and see what supplements he was on and see if something needs to be adjusted as he shouldn't have an edema at all, especially being this young.
