First you must be sure you have a pair by correctly sexing the animals. You can distinguish a male by his well developed femoral pores. These look like scales with very defined 'dots' within them; they are usually in a V shaped arrangement.
These pores are not developed in females or are less developed. This is the most reliable and possibly the only method for determining gender. Often females have well developed endolymphatic chalk sacs on the sides of their neck for storing calcium for eggshell development, but sometimes males have these too.
