hey everyone,
I've had all the following geckos since babies, all bought as "incubated for females". I was hoping to get them breeding this year, when I checked to make sure they were indeed females and I have serious doubts as to all of them :/
I would appreaciate your input on all the following pics, posted as 1-6.
thanks in advance.

They all look female to me. Those spots are not pre-anal pores, but pre-anal dimples. Most all vertebrates begin with basically the same "template" structure whether they are male or female. Certain hormones make similar structures become two different parts later on. Some females appear to have pre-anal pores, but they are really just dimpled scales, remnants of development.
