First P.grandis. Sexing help

Hi guys!
I've recently bought my first two geckos. Phelsuma grandis High Red.
I don't know if it's possible to sex them yet, but maybe some experienced keepers can drop me a hint, since I have a suspicion, that those are two males:

Sorry if it's not the right place to post it, but I saw many other threads like that in this section (while it would be more logical to post it in Noob Central).

Happy Easter!

There are females. They should have hemipenes and femoral pores. The hemipenes will appear as two bumps at the tail base that are separated by a seeming indentation. The femoral pores will extend from the midline down the leg and typically secrete a waxy substance. I believe I made a post in this group quite some time ago about sexing Phelsuma. I'll see if I can find the link for you.

Are they visible even at young age? They hatched in February.

Geckos are 3 months old now, so maybe it will be clearer to see, what sex they are. I still suspect females, although I've seen them change colors, and I heard it's more common among males.
