I've read that the larger gecko species don't reach sexual maturity until almost 18 months; however, I have 5 baby P. standingi (14 weeks, 10 weeks and 7 weeks) and I can already see some beginnings of femoral pores and a light yellow hue around the pore area or 2 of them which makes me think that those are males, and they are still pretty young. I'm split, I have 2 that are not showing any of those signs, thinking they may be females. I guess if they are growing fast (the oldest are almost 6 inches already), they may start showing earlier. It's my first time with babies so I don't know if they really are the sexes I think they are.
