Default Sexing Banded Geckos

Hey guys,

I just wanted to confirm the sex of my two Tucson Banded Geckos. To me, both look like males.

Here are the pictures:

What age are they? Because I do see some pores, but no real bulges yet...(although, they might be developing...kinda looks like it...)

For now, without any info, I would say female. If they are still quite young, I would defenitly go for males!

I purchased both of them at the end of August. Here is a picture from when they were purchased.

They look to be female to me. Banded geckos have obvious spurs at the base of the tail on males. This can be seen on Tucsons at birth. I dont see any spurs, although they are more obvious from the topside. One may show a tiny bit but the males the spurs are quite pronounced. Not a very good picture but the following is my female (left) and male (right) C.v.v. You can see the spurs on the male and none on the female.
