Depending on the type of lizard, somtimes you don't have to. I only know how to sex a few sorts myself, though.

Should have guessed what they were...
I'd need pics of the undersides of the tails to even try... and even then there's no guarantee. Right now I only know geckos, beardies, and crocodile skinks. But the male might have femoral pores or a hemipenal bulge, which would be a dead giveaway.
