One more question -- short of being able to see physical characteristics, is there any way to determine the sex? By behavior, perhaps? I've been fascinated watching their flirtations, but I can't tell who's suggesting what... :) ... #2 wiggles and bobs and turns her tail up, while #1 just bobs and follows. I'm guessing #2 is the female?
Thanks again for letting me learn from you! C

Hi Lyle.
I found the P. laticauda angularis are even more agressive and I always keep
them in pairs and then still keep an eye on them. P. laticuada are only
slightly less agressive. This year I had a laticauda male beat a female up,
and within four days she died of her injuries. They were a pair that seemed
to get along. I've absolutely found that juveniles practice hierachies.
The less agressive gecko usually looses something: growth, skin, life.
Hey, I've seen that head bobbing behavior ; )
