I add from my own knowledge than pics displayed for Saltuarius leaf-tails are also valid for sexing Phyllurus leaf-tail species.

Sorry, no experiance of the first two, and only ever had one tokay in for a few days whilst someone got a viv ready.
I was told at the time that only the males make a barking sound, females stay quite, but dont know how true this is.

Male tokays have large femoral pores and hemipenes pockets at the base of the tail,which females do not have at all.
Frog-eyed sexing is done in a similar manner.To avoid stressful handling,let your gecko go on a glass or plexiglass pane and have a look from underneath,you should see a line of pores on the thighs with a slightly waxy substance oozing from them if seen with a magnifying glass,and no pores on females. Homemade material-for crested geckos,things are much simpler :These are breeding adults from my collection:  As for gargoyle and crested juveniles,you can sex them from the age of 2 months,which is not a widely-known fact.Too often,people wait during for long months thinking they have a crestie female and get upset when big balls suddenly appear.It is reported to occur from the age of 5 months to over than 12 months before something is clearly visible in that area. Pores are visible with a macro lens using the glass pane technique,here is a little juvie from my breeding,hardly 2 months old.This one is 100% male.  In red:pores area on the thigh and hemipenal swellings beginning to appear when gently pressed against a glass pane:
