haha geckos are great, i sure hope they are a pair cause i dont wanna buy a seperate male or sell one of these
 
haha yer i did see the sexing pics on there but im still unsure, like they say they have spurs coming out the side then its a male, but i dont see spurs on either of them, so i dunno
 
Females have spurs as well but males have a more pronounced single spur while females have a small cluster
Spurs tend to develope well before a hemipenis so its a great way to tell early
 
yer well il have a look at mine and maybe take some more photos and see what u guys think
 
I’m not sure if this is for all geckos, but some species at least, the females will have calcium sacs (I can’t remember what they are called exactly). They look like bulges on the side of the neck and are really large during the breeding season. I know I’m a little sketchy on the details, I used to have a photo of one but I lost it.
 
Looks like male top pic female bottom c ant be 100% sure but they look just like my male and female
 
thanx iluvlizards69 i will take some more photos and have them up by tomorow, thnx again everyone!
 
mate you have a male on the top and female on the bottom. when trying to work out what you have can be done by one of two ways .first is the size of the hemp bulge the male will be much larger with the two bulges and the female much smaller shaping a small v shape facing back to the body. there is also another tecnique that can be used to sex them as small as hatchlings that no body knows about that i have had 100 percent success rate with. i use this method sexing diplodactylus species but is my little secret.
