I know that the picture isn't of the best quality, but can anyone venture a guess as to what sex this gecko is? He/she is about three months old. Thanks!

3 months is a bit early to tell. Only way to be sure at that age is if you were the breeder and you incubated at a set temperature for a specific sex.

0.1 Albino Leopard Gecko - Tigger
0.1 Crested Gecko - Pooh-Bear

Looks female, but DONT quote me on that, 3 months is a little early, and with a poor pic like that, its super hard to tell. Incidentally, the tail could afford a little more fat.

well, the lady at petco said she thought it was a girl too, that's what I'm hoping for, but it really dosen't matter.

About the tail: I know it looks skinny to me too, her belly seems to be fat but her tail is not. I feed them small crickets, and the other leo in with her looks healthy. They are the same age and they're not showing any signs of being mean to eachother, is there any way I can get her tail fatter?

Thanks!

Not sure, but my guess is female. It is a poor pic so please don't count on it. It looks to me like there are no poors and teeny tiny bumps at the base of the tail. Try feeding 1-2 waxworms 1 time a week. Do NOT over feed. They are very fatty, unhealthy as a staple diet, and addicting but they are ok for treats and to fatten them up.

Hope this helped!

She definitely looks female right now but as everybody has already said, its early right now. You could ad some fat filled
feeders like wax worms to her diet. Wax worms by themselves are not a good diet to live on but just a few added to her regular diet would help her/him fatten up.

thanks for the help!

Will butterworms work too?

Also, I know that with some bearded dragons if you feed them something like waxworms(candy food) too often they get to where they wont accept anything else, could this happen with a leo?

Thanks again!
