Default Indentification Help

So yesterday I came into possession of a pair of Teratoscincus that I was told were T. roborowskii. Since I have no experience with frog eyes I assumed this was so, but am now thinking they look more like T. scincus. So now I'm curious what the general verdict is on these little guys from people actually familiar with this genus.

They are T.scincus. Take a look at this photo gallery i put together on some common Teratoscincus, it is supposed to help people identify Teratoscincus. Teratoscincus

Thanks guys, I figured as much from what I saw in pictures online. It's fine anyway as the geckos were essentially free, plus the girl I got them from didn't seem to know that much about these guys other than what she was told by the place she got them from as she also thought they were two females, but one has clearly got the bulge to prove otherwise.

How long did you "cool" them? I found proper cooling is pretty important if you want to get them to breed. I cooled mine for about 10 weeks then slowly brought the temps back up and they started laying like crazy.
