Male
Default Crested sexing question

Hey guys! I just got three Crested Geckos in October from a lady in town and she didn't know whether two of them were male or female. I tried looking for a line of pores but I'm inexperienced for that part and for the life of me I couldn't tell what were pores and what weren't! I took a couple of pics of the ventral area, and hope they are big enough to clearly for an absolute answer, because the third one was a male, so if one is a male I will need to sell it as I have no more room for another male. Anyways, one pic is one gecko, one is another, both are juveniles, but exact age is unknown. Any feedback will be most appreciated. Thanks to all! Also, both have slight bulges, but second gecko has a slightly bigger bulge.

Neither of those pics are really close up enough to see pores, but both of those look like hemipenal bulges to me, so I'm going to say both are male.

Unfortunately that was the closest I could get with my camera (super-macro mode). I might try to put some side views at a later date, hopefully soon. Thanks for the input though.

Not the best pictures to sex from, but i think i see pores on both of them. My guess at this point is both males. But to be 100% sure you need a more close up picture.
And like Laura says, there already seem to be some bulge development.
