looks female to me too, but i must say that my young hainanensis looked female for about 6 to 7 months and now it turns out that it's a male. damn... he is now 9 months old.
with some young animals you can see it soon and with other it takes a little longer. but there is a big chance that you have 2 females.

grtz,e

Just out of interest - in the Eyelash Geckos book it states that males have between 23 and 29 preanal pores. I know that females have pore-like scales (pseudo pores?) - so how reliable is this pore method of sexing? Do females have the same numbers? Or are they possess more/less than this stated figure?

They appear female to me as well. I do know with the goni's that the females may tend to have larger hemipenal bulges than in other species. There have been many times I've second guessed my one female araneus to be a male due to this, then she laid eggs ending that speculation. They do tend to age slower though, but I think you may be safe in assuming female at this point in time.

Good luck with them and keep us posted.

They also look female to me, as everyone else stated though, they could be late bloomers. To young to breed yet anyways, so just keep an eye on them You housing them seperate or together?

They live together in tank and I don't see any problem with them yet. They live in one cave.

I wait for 100 percent and then i will start look for male.
