Re: My cresties!
Their colors are very pretty but the males look a little on the thin side. Perhaps if you are housing them together they are very stressed out and that is why they dropped their tails. I would seperate them if you haven't already.

Re: My cresties!
They dropped they're tails because I was cleaning they're cage, but now that the other 2 are old enough to kind of sex I'm going to separate them into pairs
Any suggestions on who I should pair up? I was thinking male pictured 1 and female pictured 2 and male 2 with female 1 since they both have spots

Re: My cresties!
The males need to be separated immediately. They both look thin and the second one looks like it is getting beat up on (and looks especially thin). Males should be separated from eachother as soon as they are sexable. They are both likely very stressed by having to live together and by having to compete for dominance and territory as males do, and your cleaning their cage was enough to push them over their stress limits causing them to drop their tails.
The males should not be put with your other 2 geckos (from the photos I really can't tell the sex of them anyhow). You do not, under any circumstances, want to pair up males and females until females are a minimum of one year old and 35 grams and males are a minimum of 10-12 months old and 30 grams. Pairing them earlier will result in the females becoming gravid too early, which will cause them to crash (because of not being able to store enough calcium yet) and they may also likely become egg bound because the eggs are too large to pass through their pelvis's because they are not large enough yet. Either of these things will result in death without immediate and drastic action and veterinary care (including surgery if the gecko is egg bound), and even with that there is still a high chance that they will not survive.
If the two unsexed geckos are the same size (within a few grams in weight) you can keep them together for now but the males need to live by themselves. You always want to make sure that you only keep cresteds of very similar size together or the smaller one(s) may be dominated by the larger and fail to thrive. Once the two unsexed geckos are sexable you can keep them together if they are females, or you will need to separate them if one or both are male.
