Hi all I know its meant to be easy but I'm new to the gecko scene and not very confident at sexing them. I recently bought this supposed pair of thick tails and would like your opinions on there sex.
I have included 2 pics of each gecko named gecko and taily here I hope there not too blurry and what you need is all there.
Thanks!!

The shape of the region just before their tail, Males have bulges.

I don't think she is gravid, when gravid you can actually see the eggs in them, although she has a white belly (like normal geckos) she lacks the eggs which you should be able to see.

Sorry 
Just the shape of her belly and possibly developing white spots that are the eggs.
I've not kept milli, but my levis never showed eggs like Matts milli did, I've never seen them show up like that before. If she is, I'd say 2 weeks or so. The white spots will get bigger, she'll get fatter and start to waddle and will probably be found out more during the day just before she lays.
