At what age can you tell the sex of a leopard gecko? I'm not sure what mine have been incubated for, and I'd really like to know. They are tiny babies right now though, so how long do I have to wait to know?

Can you probe leopard gecko babies to find out their sex? (or can I have someone else probe them is more accurate.)

No cannot probe them! Actually, maybe you "could", but they are quite easily sexed visually. Experienced keepers can do it around 3-4 months old. Anyone can do it if they know what to look for after about 7 months. Though occasionally one initially presenting as female can develop later, like closer to 9-12 months. If post a good pic in a few months, I'll see what I can do
