I have never seen calcium sacks on either of my males.
My female, on the other hand, has them year round.

Here's some pics of her:

Males can indeed have calcium sacs, usually they are not very large, but are quite visible when looking at the head from underneath. Juveniles of both sexes often have small sacs, they're born with them.

Hemipenal bulges are a much better way to sex Uroplatus. Color and pattern sometimes works for henkeli as well.
