Grabbed some pics today of my 5.5-6mth old Cyrtodactylus. I have two, almost identical in size but one is EVER so slightly bulkier and much crankier (he wanted to bite me so badly...).

I know they're young but figured even if too young to sex at least I can have progression photos the next time I get them out for a photo.

Included a picture to show current full size. SVL is approx 7cm for both.

I would have said the first one male, second one unsure. There appears to be a difference in the cloacal spurs but not enough to say that the second is a definite female.

Mind you I am definitely no expert. Hopefully Mr. Brown will see this thread and post his opinion.
 
I'm thinking the same so far. Male for first (larger more noticeable spurs) and on the second...ehhh?? Maybe another 3-4 months since they're growing so fast and it'll be obvious. =)
