I bought this pair in September. They grew to a lengths about 7 inches and laid eggs in February. I'm assuming they are a sexed pair. When I bought them I was told that the male was the one with the broader neck and shoulders. In my picture I think he should be the one on the left. Is this correct? The one on the left is definitely stouter and thicker than the other. Are males generally larger than females? Thanks in advance.

Males of this species are typically more slender and develop nuptial pads on their front limbs. My guess is the same as yours with the female being the specimen on the left and them male top right.
