Hello:

The males will have a row of enlarged scales on the undersides of the back legs. These are called femoral pores. The females will have a line along the same area but the scales are not well pronounced. In some species the male has more color around the head/neck region. If your two are opposites you will see the difference right away.

Hope this helps. Have a Great Day!!!
