It's been about 2 weeks after I got a pair of Gianat day gecko.

As I remember, breeder said no.1 is male.

I thought so because he(?) attacked no.2 so many time like courtship as I know.
Even no.1 made sound like frog in front of no.2 so many times

But from yesterday, no.2 is hiding in a corner all the day. So I fed her(?) using long spoon.
Then no.1 followed spoon to snatch the food and attacked no.2 many times badly.

So I called the breeder and he said they are definitely a pair, he's seen eggs in their cage.
And recommended to separate them.
So I separated them.

Now, PLEASE see the femoral pores.

In my opinion, they both might be male.
In Korean reptile forum(I live in Korea), most of them say no.2 is male, half and half to no.1.

PLEASE, tell me your opinion and what should I do.


Of course I will contact the breeder tomorrow to show the photos.

And I'm afraid to separate them since some articles say that it may make them more violent.

2 is male, 1 is a probable female. You may want to separate them to prevent the female from being overbred, and especially since it doesn't sound like they are getting along well.

I see femoral pores on both geckos. The pores are not apparent in your first photo of gecko 1 but the subsequent photos show the pores pretty well. I'd say they are both male.
