Sorry if they sound like dumb questions but I've never kept them and would like to learn more about them.
I wouldn't say stupid mate

Females do get some spikes no where near as large as males though and the heads of females are smaller.

The colours must give some type of camoflaugue effect in the wild but im not sure about the chin I know Zhens was more orange as a youngster but now its more Red/Pink
