Giant ground gecko sexing:
That is fairly easy with this species from an early age. Males have 2-4 pairs of white spots on each side of the spine whereas females lack those: Female:  Male:

Uroplatus henkeli -sexing the young:
 While it is very easy to sex adult henkeli as they show a marked sexual dimorphism, this is much more problematic on juveniles.Adult males have prominent hemipenal bulges and several irregular, large, dark patches on the back while females have uniformly reparted tiny dark round spots. On this juvenile you can see stripe-like darker markings, it became later a male. A young female would not show such markings.  What is more, in the space between the cloaca and the tail there are some spiny scales on each side of the narrow part of the tail base. Those spines are longer and broader in males and males have 3-5 pairs of them while females only have 2-4 pairs of such scales. This has been confirmed to me by Neil Meister, the world's biggest leaf-tails specialist.
