You cant rly tell when they are very young. You might have to wait. Even the expert at my pet store could not tell what kind mine were. I figured out they were female anyway.

The pictures are blurrry, but I don't see anything wrong with that one leo being chubby. It doesn't even look all that chuby, it seems healthy to me. Which is good, because since leos store fat in their tail, if they lose it they lose their fat reserves. So it's probably a good thing that she's got a good weight on her.

As far as the sexing goes, it's tricky. It depends on the age and weight of the animal. If you could weigh them maybe I could help you more. Also, the best way to tell is doing what someone already mentioned - check their underside for a V line of pores. It's very noticable, but you can search images on google or internet caresheets for help on what you're looking for. Because when they're younger they won't really have the bulge.

Hope that helps!

I was trying to follow along with this thread but it is hard because of the lack of punctuation and incorrect spelling.
However I looked at the pictures and in my opinion your gecko does not look really fat. Just healthy.
Good luck with the babies though.
 
I agree, it's hard trying to figure out where sentences end without punctuation lol.

Yes, if you google "leopard gecko male" or "leopard gecko pores" you'll get good photos. Here's one, just to help you out: Leopard gecko pores image by cbr_1984 on Photobucket

They look around maybe 5 months old or younger. Get a gram scale from Walmart or something (doesn't have to be too fancy, just one of those kitchen/food scales) and weigh them. Weight is more useful than age in many aspects.
