Those are actually Green Anoles (Anolis carolinensis) which arent geckos, many petstores call them this or house them with Actual House Geckos and it just looks like one is climbing on the other not breeding.

had a feeling they were anoles.
the tail was too thin to be a gecko.
so im guessing they're mating

So they're lazy anoles haha. Okay thankyou. Stupid petstores can't even name them. When I get mine for sure a breeder. Petstores are idiots. They had a bearded dragon, it was a uromastyx. -.- i pointed this out and the guy said it was a beardless bearded dragon.

ya not always smart but sometime you can score good deals. The risk is unheathy animals if they dont know what they are caring for!

Yeah, but if you have a big herp collection sometimes it doesn't worth that risk, especially if you can't quarantine properly the new-arrivals.

They don't mate in that position--if they were mating, the male would be on the female's back with his head in the same direction as hers, and possibly he would be grasping the back of her neck in his jaws. His tail would be curled under hers so the appropriate parts are in line. In your photo, they're belly to belly, facing opposite directions, and aren't even lined up properly.
